A fine C26 specimen
Roger Russell would like to see this immaculate unit!!
I've owned the following C26 for over 30 years. It belonged to the owner of the McIntosh dealer in Springfield Massachusetts. It was my first piece of Mc gear and went everywhere.. even out to college!! (recall dorm photo of young Gregory)
Here are some photos, previously posted on another audio web forum.

More to do
So you've noticed some items that weren't pristine? Well.. there's some oxidation on the RCA (phono) jacks, it still has the original hex-head screws and some solder flux spattered on the inside walls of the chassis. Time to get the C26 out of the carton once again for a bit more inspection, servicing and TLC.
Is it time to replace the interstage mylar coupling caps? If so.. what are some good replacements?
