    1976 2203 Laydown Power Transformer - BLOWN?

    I can't believe this! Apparently a drop of solder dripped off my iron when I wasn't looking and fell inside the chassis. It landed perfectly on my V6 socket and bridged my heater Pin 2 to my plate Pin 3 of my EL34. I totally miss this. Such a fluke! Didn't even know this happened. I...

    Dim bulb tester or limiter

    So a 100 watt bulb ok for a LBL when working on a 100 watt amp, or 200 w bulb in LBL?

    1976 2203 Laydown Power Transformer - BLOWN?

    Ok...I am pretty sure that white thing on the primary tap (see photo above) is a thermal fuse. I tested the thermal fuse. It tests good for continuity and has next to no resistance (~0.3 ohms). Yeah I have a meter. I have a Fluke 179 multimeter.

    1976 2203 Laydown Power Transformer - BLOWN?

    No I have 120VAC power. I literally took a photo, pulled the old switch, and wired in the new switch. Same transformer and wires. I also put back the old switch and it is making a terrible hum now. I have no idea what happened then...

    1976 2203 Laydown Power Transformer - BLOWN?

    No my amp is wired for 120VAC. I don't have a voltage tap selector. Here is the wiring for the old power switch. The fifth lug for the lamp is hard to see. Also, on the new switch, I switched the mains black and white to the top lug. Otherwise the bulb would have been on all the time.

    1976 2203 Laydown Power Transformer - BLOWN?

    Hi, I think I just blew my 1976 2203 100 watt laydown power transformer. I had a power switch failing on me, so I bought a couple replacements rocker switches. Installed one of them, turned on the amp, and a bad hum sound came from my speakers and blew my 4A high voltage fuse. Then I wired...

    Marshall Power Brake Attenuator PB100 First Impression

    Does anyone recommend an attenuator that does 4 ohms? I only need bare bones. Nothing but attenuation needed.

    Marshall Power Brake Attenuator PB100 First Impression

    Yes that's just it. This is what I am nervous about. If it was made for 4 ohm, wouldn't it have 4 ohm available on the switch?

    Marshall Power Brake Attenuator PB100 First Impression

    Ok awesome. Lots of what I read online says I can’t, but I’d be suprised Marshall would build an attenuator that couldn’t manage a 4 ohm amp and cab.

    Marshall Power Brake Attenuator PB100 First Impression

    If I only have a 4 ohm cab, will the PB-100 still work ok for me?

    Yep. Case closed.

    240vac Rocker Switch in 120vac Amp

    Interesting. I never looked at the rating of my original switch from 76’ as it’s still in my amp. I’ll check it out. As long as the light fires up, I’ll be happy with it. Thabks J

    240vac Rocker Switch in 120vac Amp

    Hi, I needed a new red rocker power switch and accidentally purchased one that was rated for 240vac. Any idea if this will work in my 2203? My mains are 120vac... I suspect the bulb will work according to things I have read, but may not be as bright as designed. Any ideas? I will receive...

    2203/2204 470pf V2 Bypass Caps

    That's interesting. My amp seems pretty thick overall so the 470pf works great. I play a lot with my band and I find the bright and edgy works well in the mix when recording or rehearsing. I think if I were a bedroom player that I would want my amp to sound thicker since I wouldn't be...

    Marshall Rocker Switch Arrow - Replace or Fix?

    Hi, My 1976 2203 rocker switches are finally starting to go. The standby switch is especially bad. Are there good replacements I can buy brand new that are high quality? Anyone have experience buying a new switch, and how does it compare to the original Arrow? I saw a thread where someone...
