Also at $1000 per pair id be on those like white on rice.
It's $1k a piece.... otherwise, yeah, I would, too. Lol.
Oops I read pr not per.
The numbers on the transformers are Type M-224 Unity-Coupled Transformer and M-225 Power Transformer.
Yep those are the same transformers as on the mc40 nof doubt about it.
They are a match to the transformers on my MC40's.
I bought rebuild kits from Jim McShane, cost was about 300 bucks for two kits. A friend of mine (NJPhoenix) who has experience rebuilding Mac tube amps did the work. Retubed them with vintage tubes and haven't looked back. They are the cornerstone of my system.

Fwiw the price is not too far out of line for clean examples of mc30's or mc40's. You can also take into the rarity of these amps and add some more $$ to the price tag.
I'm asking for his price on 2. I don't want to push this into dollars and sense...lol.
I don't know that rarity plays into most people's minds. I had a very rare car...1/13 made that year and because of that, pricing was hard to gauge. I had wished I'd had bought a more common variant when I sold it.

I see differences in the global fb network as well as the front end network.

So, that adds $450 for the 3, plus labor and any tubes required, plus odds and ends.
Well, he wants $2500 for 1 recapped/1 original pair and $3400 for all 2... only 1 being recapped. So, I'd need 1 kit per, plus labor, etc? I've asked what tubes are in them.
I'm thinking it's not reasonable and pass.
Yeah, that's where I am, too. It was a cool adventure, nonetheless.
Thanks guys for the great info. My journey into the McIntosh tube world will have to wait awhile longer.
Best something local and fully competently overhauled and bench checked, price negotiable for cosmetics.

Remember the seller is a second hand dealer so he/she will not give away or good price.
I'd have gone 20 Benjis for the three, had I been local. Then McShaned all three.
