McIntosh winds their own
transformers (actually an "Autoformer", which only has a primary coil, but no
secondary).
Here is an autoformer before it
gets placed in hot tar and put into a metal case (this is called a "potted"
transformer).
Final testing and assembly.
Everything must pass by Shirley,
who checks it all over for any scratches before shipment.
Here's one of their latest
products, a projector, called the MDLP1. The famous logo is there too.
This is the equipment rack in the
back of their theater. All this McIntosh gear probably weighs as much as
JJ's SUV. Gotta love those VU meters in blue.
