The MR77 is one of the truly great McIntosh tuners. Produced from 1970-1978, the MR77 was designed by Richard Modafferi. The MR77 is essentially an MR78 without the variable selectivity - same designer, specs, etc. Soundwise in comaprison to the MR78 there is little sonic difference between them on any station with sufficient signal strength. The MR78 alternate channel selectivity was better but, this is at the expense of frequency bandwidth. Hence there is a tradeoff. The MR77 tuning is smooth. The sound is liquid. It is easy to forget with a good classical station that it is a tuner that one is listening to. Rich, tight bass, balanced detailed midrange and very detailed high-end. Like all McIntosh components it was designed and built to last a lifetime. Sensitivity 2uV for 35dB of quieting. Response 20-15kHz (+1 -1dB). Distortion 0.2% in stereo. Capture ratio .25 dB detector only, 2.5dB complete tuner. Image rejection: 100dB at 90 MHz, 90 dB at 105 MHz IHF. S/N 75dB. Separation 40dB@1kHz. Volume with on-off switch. Tuning ctrl. Signal strength and tuning meters. MPX indicator. Multipath indicator. BACK PANEL: Audio out 2.5V variable and 1V fixed. 300 or 75 ohm fm cable input. Scope outputs. Panloc mounting. In summary, this tuner is about sound quality. The designer who created the MR77 and MR 78 was a definite music lover. Unit is in 9+ condition. Low use and has been serviced. Alignments by Audio Pro. Unit has 1 or 2 tiny scratches at corners. Perfect glass. Connectors at back panel and chassis have no rust spots. Truly a museum quality collectors condition unit.

HHB PDR1000 ProDAT Recorder with Time Code (Excellent low use cosmetic condition, but Needs Servicing). The HHB PDR1000 Portadat is a high end DAT recorder with Time Code that is in its original high quality locking case. The PDR1000 features a rugged 4-head, 4-motor transport derived from DDS technology, balanced XLR mic & line inputs, AES/EBU and SPDIF digital I/O, 44.1, 48 and 32kHz sample rates for both record & replay, +48V phantom powering, Off-tape monitoring. Internal monitor speaker. Unit is in near mint condition with virtually no use time, but has been in storage for many years. All swithches and controls feel perfect, no cosmetic wear.
ISSUES: The FF pLay will not take up and it cycles slowly to move tape. Unit Powers up intermittently. Front Display has some black creeping into left corner of display. Machine was owned by amateur who used it very little if at all. We also assume the batteries are bad because they haven't been charged. We are hoping to find a proper home for it where somebody can use it. Good for use for parts or to make one unit up from two, or needs repair.

Claimed by H-K to be the world's first ultra-wide bandwidth tube power amplifier. Designed from a professional sound engineers perspective by Stewart Hegeman, the Citation II featured a very high output (60 watts per channel), low distortion and an extremely high bandwidth (at 20W: 18 Hz to 60,000 Hz +0, /– 1.0 dB ). Weighing 70 pounds (almost 32 kg), this power amplifier looked good enough to eat with its chocolate coloured transformers and golden chassis.
The circuit consisted of a pentode input stage, followed by a pair 12BY7 video pentodes as a differential phase splitter (the video pentode supplied a bandwidth of well over a megahertz in the input stage). The output stage utilised a pair of KT88's for each channel, each valve having its own bias control as well as an AC balance control. A small meter at the rear of the chassis was provided for measuring bias and AC balance. Three feedback loops were incorporated, giving 32 db of overall feedback with unconditional stability.
The output transformers were superb, built by the Freed company in New York. Huge, well-potted units, they boasted extremely wide response characteristics with leakage inductance kept to an absolute minimum. Only the highest grade core materials available were used, which, lowered the effect of core distortion to a region well below the limit of human hearing. With feedback, the Citation II transformers were capable of high frequency response up to 270,000 cycles! The power supply consisted of four silicon diode rectifiers, filter choke, heavy duty electrolytic capacitors and a large, potted power transformer (also made by Freed).
Our Unit has seen low use and known to be in storage most of it's history. Some amateur service work was done but only to attempt repair of one filter cap. We have corrected this as well as did add-on "helper" caps to boost filter cap rating which lowers noise floor and improves stability of all voltage vintage new old stock match. New GE BY7A's are installed (with a spare) and new National N.O.S. 4 KT88's (with one spare) are installed. Unit has seen very low use time, maybe a few years, but again new tubes are installed.
