[Power Amplifier]

McIntosh 50W2 Amplifier & power supply

Monaural power amplifier (6.75 x 8.1 x 5.25’’). Grey hammertone finish, 50 watts, with power supply. Tubes: 2-6L6G/1614 output, 2-12AX7, 2-6J5, 2-5U4. Worn from use.

Produced by McIntosh from January 1951-August 1955, the MC-50 is rare and highly sought after. These were essential to the Dead’s early sound.

"Big" Steve Parish: “These extremely rare old tube McIntosh amps were purchased by Owsley for his P.A. system experiments at Alembic studios, and were used at Altamont. As the years passed, Bear gave them to Ram Rod to use for his home speaker system.”
