Great vintage integrated. If you like the sound of EL84's you'll love what this little baby delivers for a paltry sum. It has an AMAZING MM or MC phone stage plus 3 line level inputs and a line level output. Faceplate is very nice, chasis is somewhat scuffed but you can't see it when in the mahogany cabinet.
I've had this unit for a little over a year and have had no problems whatsoever. Will ship to US only in a custom wooden crate for safety. Rating 6/10 for vintage nature of the unit but as you can see, it's in excellent shape.
Thanks for looking!
Here are some details about the mods and tubes from the person I bought it from:

Mapleshade recently made additional upgrades to the volume pot (ALPS)/power supply/phone stage
Custom Mahogany cabinet from Dan Crosby at www.mcintoshcabinets.com $300
Retail for $1175 plus $150 in above upgrades
NOS upgraded tubes $350
Standard tubes also included at no additional cost (so...you have a back up set)

RESTORED AND ULTRA-MODIFIED VINTAGE H.H. SCOTT TUBE AMPS
Several years ago, Pierre and a friend who’s a vintage tube specialist discovered the magic of ’60s small-tube Scott amps. These small EL-84 output tubes had startling low bass, unexpectedly clean and punchy, together with a soaring treble airiness. The bass and treble of the famous big tube amps (EL-34s, KT-88s, 6550s, etc.) sounded soggy by comparison. Mesmerized, they spent a year honing mods to see how far they could take the little wonders. Their test-bed speaker was the demanding 6’ tall Maggie 3.6. A year later, the Mapleshade hot-rod prototypes were whipping $5,000 tube amps and $10,000 solid state amps: stunning symphonic crescendos; lovely airiness; in-the-room presence for voice, guitar, piano; and amazing bass. The factory pre-amp stage has been replaced with our own passive stage that beats any external tube pre-amp up to $7,500. And, included is a superb Scott phono stage that we’ve further upgraded. We’re so proud of the results that we’re now turning out one or two per month of these fully restored, stem-to-stern modified integrated tube amps with a built-in passive pre-amp plus a world-class phono stage.
The basic specs of our modded Scott amps are:
• 26 watts per channel; the dynamic swing is large enough to drive speakers as inefficient as 86 db to full realistic volume
• integrated passive preamp
• modded (and excellent-sounding) integrated phono stage
• phono stage will handle both moving magnet and moving coil cartridges down .08 mv output
• three line level inputs (tuner/aux/tape)
• two phono inputs (high mag/low mag)
• one line level output
• all stock balance, tone control, and filters are bypassed as part of our mods
• tape loop is functional
