Richard: I had the MX112, a MC2105 and a 2205. Those were the days.
Roger Russell, a former McIntosh engineer, has a great site about the
old Mac stuff and vintage stereo you might like. You must have liked
the slide potentiometers and equalizers if you liked SAE. I can
understand that given your exposure to mixers and the other pro
equipment.
