Mcintosh Meter color help, it's Is it faded, not blue? Is it faded?

Older Mac gear was alway Teal blue/green in color.  I liked it, munch better than the current cobalt blue.

Hi John,  I'm one of the last factory-trained McIntosh technicians in North America.  I also have a 4' x 8' sheet of McIntosh's proprietary blue plexiglass.  If those lamps burned your meter plexi, they were not the correct lamps, leaving you with faded-out-blue.  I would love to work with you to get those meters back in factory-new-condition.  That's one of the big reasons we buy McIntosh...the aesthetics..........!  I run www.precisionaudiolabs.com and I hope to hear from you soon.  Jeff Jackson

If it’s anything on the inside like my MC2125 the lights are clear and the coloring is on the etched faceplate.  Shouldn’t be a big deal just keep track of screws and brackets if you take it apart.

That is a totally different amplifier than the MC152

Sorry, multi tasking and making mistakes left and right....it's a MC162, I promise.  I think about 15-20 years old and was left powered on a lot.

I don't get it, you said that in the original post.

WOW, My amp is a MC152 My mistake

Thank you for the help!  I had all the bulbs replaced by a local tech and he used normal non LED lamps?  Did he put the wrong ones in?

The MC152 does not use bulbs, it comes from the factory with LED lighting. 

Check with Audio Classics.  They may have an LED bulb upgrade kit for your amplifier.  Those + translucent "blue" inserts are what provide the color for McIntosh meters.
