@TAZIN - thanks as ever for your expertise. That's a fair bit - I wonder if that blurs the lines between routine maintenance/replacement versus restoration/rebuild. I'll try get a pic to 100% confirm (or otherwise) the T2562.
I'm baffled by the LEAD missing too! For some reason I'd a...
Having one each of Bass/Lead in what is quite a cool looking cab is intriguing for me. Local to me and price seems very fair, so might go check it out. Apparently both speakers in good order, no rub or issues. Worth a punt methinks.
Hi folks
Looking for someone to check my thinking on a pair of G12H I've seen. They've both got the same label on greenback - G12H, 30W, 16 ohms, 75 c/s. One has a date code I can make out, making it December 1968... the other I can't make out. One of them has the expected 102 003 code on...
Given the mods done and the partial kinda conversion between Bass and Lead, what impact do you think that would have on the tone of the amp? The full Bass to Lead tweak I'm loosely familiar with, but wonder what the intention was with the mods as they are...
Ah, that's good to hear! I looked at some other circuit pics earlier and came to conclusion it was some manner of semi-conversion, but had assumed I just didn't understand properly.
Hello all!
Wondering if the good folks here could cast their eyes over this '73 SB100 and let me know what you think in terms of originality/mids/issues etc? Common power cable mod done but looks very good on the whole to me. Would much appreciate the views and experience of those much more...
Hi! Got a '73 50W lead and a '77 2203. Heads both the same dimensions, looking to pick up a pair of flight cases for them? Any recommendations? Have only ever dealt with Castle Cases before, long time ago but seemed a decent bunch. Anywhere else I should be comparing quality/price?
Thanks!
Congrats!! My favourite of them all is a 73 50W, just has a little something extra I haven't come across elsewhere. Fantastic amps - play it loud and in good health!!
These things have just popped up for sale locally. Spiders needs re-glueing, though not sure whether it's just a bit or a complete realignment job required. Dust cap missing on one. 20W badged so could be 20W or transition-y 25W things. If I understand correctly the one with missing dust cap...
Ah bugger, sorry to hear that. Did you lose power altogether, or just sound with the amp staying powered up? I'd a similar sounding situation with my '73 - low volume all was well but, consistently, soon as you got to around 5-6 on the volume the power light flickered and all went quiet (but...
My '73 had similar symptoms recently, detailed here: https://www.marshallforum.com/threads/have-a-guess-whats-wrong-with-my-73.131713/
One of the EL34 sockets had a trace which allowed arc'ing between pins. Also added screen resistors - sounds heavenly again now. :)
I'll give you £100 for it - 100% return on investment! :) :) :)
Seriously though, that's an absolute deal there... almost like 'tatty ol' cab for 50 bucks, what's it worth?' is some manner of joke! Stupid good deal and should sound outstanding if all's well with the speakers, which I hope is...
