Vintage 1970s Mcs Modular Component System

This Vintage 1970s MCS Modular Component Systems 3233 AM FM Stereo Receiver has been well-maintained and is functional. The item has been carefully inspected and the pots have been de-ox’d or fader-lubed as appropriate. All caps were visually inspected for leaks and one was replaced. A couple of the lights are out -- looks like they screw in but I did not replace them but easy if they do screw in (4 screws and the case comes off). It was carefully cleaned. And please review photos and video. Here are the known issues: tiny bit of static from moving one the pots but barely noticeable. Knobs aren’t perfectly straight but close. One of the indicator bulbs (phono) is slightly recessed. I should have pushed it out when I was in there -- easy fix but I've boxed it well to ship.  Some minor wear to the cabinet.  (See photos).  Plays great. It is a great addition to any vintage audio collection and is sure to impress even the most discerning audiophile. Featuring a classic design and premium components, this vintage stereo receiver is a true gem. It is made in the United States and comes with all the original accessories, including the power cord and user manual. Don't miss out on this opportunity to own a piece of audio history. If I can ship for less I’ll refund the difference LOWER 48 ONLY!!!! It’s playing Bruce Cockburn in the video driving some Intermezzos.  From the internet but I think it's reliable:
Tuning range: FM, MW
Power output: 33 watts per channel into 8Ω (stereo)
Frequency response: 20Hz to 20kHz
Total harmonic distortion: 0.8%
Dimensions: 18-3/4 x 15 x 6-1/2 inches
Weight: 25lbs The fluted knobs and 40 position detent volume knob are also very nice features of this unit. It has a nicely brushed face and a flywheel weighted slide-rule tuner as well.  The 3233 has mid range tone control, tone defeat, flywheel tuning, FM muting, Tape Monitor/Dubbing, as well as Low and Scratch Filters. The two meters are for signal strength and tuning.One nice technical feature is that the MCS 3233 utilizes two motorola 2n3055 output transistors which are very easy to source nowadays. So, if one blows it’s a fairly easy fix. While many people scoff at MCS equipment, it is actually very well built and used good quality components. JC Penney had very tight quality control over their manufacturers and their specs were higher end. This solid state MCS 3233 from Modular Component Systems was manufactured in during the late 1970’s and into the very early 1980’s. MCS was a house brand for JC Penney. MCS didn’t actually manufacture their equipment and there has been quite a bit of discussion online as to who made their receivers. The general consensus is that Technics (Mastushita) and NEC made most of them though other manufacturers may have built them as well. They do look a little like the early Technics receivers so they seem the most likely manufacturer. However, some units have a Made in Taiwan badge which would preclude either NEC or Technics as the manufacturer.
