4 Original McIntosh Audio Stereo Feet & Screws (USA, NOS) also ideal for Marantz

Description: You are bidding on four brand new (New Old Stock) original McIntosh feet for most Amplifiers, Preamps, Tuners, Receivers, CD Players, etc. These feet are available in either 3/4" high, or 1" high size (used on most McIntosh items since the late 1980’s). These are the exact same original American made high quality black "polyethylene" feet, by the original manufacturer, that McIntosh has been using for the last 50 years or more. As heavy as McIntosh equipment is, these feet were made to be almost indestructible! I will supply the correct size American made McIntosh screws (because McIntosh used two different types of screws over the years, I will supply both types at no extra charge, for a total of 8 screws) or 4 Marantz metric screws, if the buyer prefers. These feet will work well with almost any brand of audio equipment, and are much better quality than original Marantz "plastic" feet that tend to crack if over tightened. They will not leave scuff marks on furniture, or dry out and eventually flatten, like rubber feet have a tendency to do. These American made feet were manufactured to last a lifetime! Shipping and handling will be $4.00 anywhere in the U.S.A. Thank you. I receive many questions about which size feet are correct for a particular McIntosh or Marantz unit. Keep in mind that McIntosh made the decision in the late 1980’s / early 1990's to start using the taller 1” feet on almost all items. The extra clearance below the chassis can allow for up to 15% more air flow, keeping the audio component cooler. Heat has always been the number one enemy of electronics. Remember, warm air rises out thru the top of the component and pulls cool air in thru the bottom. McIntosh states in their own literature that "each 10 degree rise in operating temperature reduces the life of the electronic component by up to 50%". Marantz 2200 series, 4200 series, and 4400 series receivers would use either the 3/4" or the 1” size feet. Larger separate components such as the 120, 150, 33, 3300, 240, 250, 1120, and 1200 can use either of the 2 sizes depending on the owners preference.Sometimes I recommend stacking a few magazines or thin books under the component and measure to see which size feet would look best to the owner before making the decision.The same rules apply with other brands such as Fisher, Scott, Crown, Pioneer, Technics, Sansui, and so on.The other big concern is making sure to use the proper length screw. I've seen expensive audio components badly damaged from using too long of a screw and accidentally hitting something underneath the chassis. Some items (especially receivers) only have a clearance of 1/8" to 1/4" before a circuit board is damaged by the screw going in too far. These feet will always come with the proper length screws.
