TERMINATION OF CERTAIN MCINTOSH

 REPRODUCTION GRAPHICS – JULY 16, 2018

Please note that Radio Daze has terminated the sale and production of certain McIntosh related reproduction graphics effective immediately. We will not accept any additional orders for the subject McIntosh related items and all prior sales of them are final.

BACKGROUND

As many in our customer base know, for many years Radio Daze has been supplying quality reproduction graphics for certain well out-of-production McIntosh items. Our initiative in this regard was undertaken to in response to McIntosh aficionados looking for an ability not found elsewhere to restore vintage McIntosh gear and continue the high regard, prestige and legend of McIntosh in the audiophile community. These products were primarily replacement glass items for those either broken in shipping/handling or degraded original silk-screening due to age or wear. All related Radio Daze products were developed solely by the Radio Daze team with significant expense incurred in their design and tooling.

In early June 2018, Radio Daze was contacted by McIntosh Laboratory, Inc. regarding our reproduction graphics and their McIntosh trademarks. In our response, we noted that our website statement:

Our reproduction graphics are provided to the restoration community to help preserve vintage items for next generations. Names of actual companies, products, trademarks, registered trademarks, or service marks used herein are the sole property of their respective owners in the United States and other countries.

We further stated our sincere belief that the restoration of classic equipment, such as vintage McIntosh gear, only serves to promote the value and prestigious history of McIntosh in its future product endeavors.

Upon further consideration by McIntosh Laboratory, Inc., we have been informed that we must immediately cease the sale and manufacture of any McIntosh related reproduction graphics that include the word “McIntosh” in any form and we are accordingly doing as requested.

The products we have terminated in their present form are as follows:
