…..well the Mac gear from the 60’s is known to be very gentle on tubes, don’t assume every designer this astute……and yes, i have both a 1961 MC240 and 1965 MX-110Z…..both w mostly origional small signal tubes….but not all, your milage may vary….

Mac was also thru the seventies famous for walk in performance clinics…mostly power output tubes got changed….but some small signal as well….

enjoy the journey
