tom b. 57 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I have an opportunity to pick up a McIntosh MR-78 tuner for what seems to be a good price ($500.00). Anyone own or have owned one? Any opinions about this model? Is it worth asking price? Tom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 It was $1,699 in 1972. Confirmed recent eBay sales have ranged from $850 to $1700. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubo Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 I have owned one since it was new It is considered the finest FM Tuner that Mac ever made. They will have to pry mine out of my cold dead hands.....it won't be easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom b. 57 Posted May 8, 2021 Author Share Posted May 8, 2021 If it checks out the price is certainly good. I am curious as to how good of a tuner it is and if it is a keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom b. 57 Posted May 8, 2021 Author Share Posted May 8, 2021 well if they will have to pry it out of your hands, I think my question is answered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom b. 57 Posted May 8, 2021 Author Share Posted May 8, 2021 Picked up the tuner this morning and it is in extremely good condition. I am very impressed. Unfortunately I won't be checking it out for a few days. I hope it works as well as it looks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
