What are the parts required to repack the MCINTOSH MC300 POWER AMPLIFIER for shipment?

If it is necessary to repack the MCINTOSH MC300 POWER AMPLIFIER for shipment, the unit must be packed exactly as shown. The four plastic feet must be attached to the bottom of the unit so they will locate in the four holes of the bottom pad. Two #10 x 2-1/4″ screws and washers must be used to fasten the unit securely to the bottom pad and wood skid. Failure to do this will result in shipping damage.

The parts list for repacking is:

Qty. Part No. Description
1 033888 Shipping carton only
4 033887 End cap (Foam pad)
1 033697 Inside carton only
1 033725 Top pad
1 033698 Bottom pad
3 017218 Plastic foot (spacer)
1 033699 Wood skid
3 101169 #10 x 2-1/4″ Wood screw
