Boxx Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 This fellow has done work for me in the past (two McIntosh cabinets). Excellent workmanship.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonzo Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I just ordered a cabinet from them for my Fisher 500C based on several recommendations. It wasn't cheap but you usually get what you pay for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muel Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I like the original look but better build materials used by mcintoshcabinets. So I got a 500-C cabinet from them but I am unhappy with the finish. The construction seemed very nice but there were scratches on one side that I think should have been obvious after staining. Looks like they occurred during sanding... as if they pressed too hard or slipped with the sander. I haven't had much time to worry about it but these posts prompted me to go ahead and contact them with pictures of the scratches. I can let you know what I hear from them. As another alternative, I suggest you contact tk49 here on the forum. He built my VRD cabinets and a matching cabinet for the turntable. You might see what he can do for you. He is great to work with and did a beautiful job for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muel Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 All worked out.. Talked to Dan at mcintoshcabinets today. He was very agreeable and flexible on coming to a resolution. He offered to have me return it or he could send a replacement. To me, that seemed like a lot of hassle for everybody so we agreed on a small discount. So we can just consider it a little scratch and dent sale, I suppose. Luckily, the scratches are on a side that I won't see much or I would have gone the replacement route. You have to be paying attention to notice. I can recommend doing business with them without hesitation. You still might want to talk to tk49 as he has done some interesting cabinets for amps.

Dmitry Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Thanks, guys. I'd rather have the original one, even if it's scratched up. It's just me, I guess. [6] Will be checking the ol' eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
