Who made MCS 3233?
It is an off brand Japanese product marketed by J.C. Penney in the US. I’m not sure who manufactured it, perhaps Panasonic or Nippon. It is rated for 33 wpc RMS so it is less powerful than the Pioneer SX-950 (85 wpc).
Who made MCS receivers?
The answer is, a variety of different manufacturers made different pieces of MCS gear. The top-of-the-line receivers from the late 70’s/early 80’s (there are a couple of them, I think Model 3275 was the big beast) were made by Foster, who also made some of the TOTL Realistic gear for Tandy.
Are MCS turntables good?
It performs well and sounds good, but is not quite top shelf. With the same cartridge, my favorite Kenwood KD-4100, still sounds better. Still I am pleased to have this turntable in my collection. I had this turntable for years and loved it.
