Unpacking the MC2152

Caution

To prevent damage to the MC2152 

Vacuum Tubes during shipping, 

there is a special foam insert sur-

rounding the Vacuum Tubes of the 

Power Amplifier.

The Foam Insert must be 

removed from the MC2152 

before connecting the AC 

Power Supply Cord to the 

Power Amplifier.

Failure to do so has the po-

tential of a Fire Hazard, 

resulting in damage to the 

MC2152 and the surround-

ing environment. 

Follow these instructions for 

removal of the packing foam 

before connecting the AC 

Power Supply Cord to the 

MC2152.

In order to remove the foam insert sur-

rounding the Vacuum Tubes on the MC2152, it 

is necessary to temporarily remove the opera-

tional Tube Shield Metal Cover. After the foam 

insert is removed, the Tube Shield Metal Cover 

is to be re-installed for proper and safe opera-

tion of the MC2152 Power Amplifier. The Tube 

Shield Metal Cover provides protection from 

the hazardous voltages inside the MC2152. The 

MC2152 has no user serviceable parts, includ-

ing the Vacuum Tubes. If repairs are needed 

they must be performed by an authorized Mc-

Intosh Service Agency.

1. Orient the MC2152 so the Front of the Power 

Amplifier is facing you and remove the Warning 

Sheet. Refer to figure 1A.

2. Referring to figure 2B (a partial side view of the 

MC2152) to temporarily remove the two screws 

located on the top of the Tube Shield Metal Cover 

by using a Phillips Head #2 Screw Driver.

3. Carefully lift up and remove the Tube Shield 

Metal Cover from the MC2152. Refer to figure 3C.

4. Place the Tube Cover and the previously removed 

chassis screws in a safe location, as the Tube 

Cover will be reinstalled.

5. Carefully lift up and remove the Foam Insert from 

the MC2152 exposing the Vacuum Tubes. Refer to 

figures 4D and 5E.

6. Carefully place the previously removed Tube 

Cover on top of the MC2152. Refer to figures 6F 

and 7G.

7. Secure the Cover to the MC2152 Chassis using the 

previously removed Tube Cover Screws. Refer to 

figure 8H.

Note: Save the Foam Insert and Warning Sheet 

with the MC2152 Shipping Carton for possible 

future use.
