Fairly new to this forum but have been reading a lot of posts and am pretty blown away by the wealth of expertise in here.
I’ve been playing guitar for about 40 years, mostly on Fender and Gibson amps, but recently stepped into the Marshall realm with the acquisition of a ‘73 PA20 and then a ‘78 Park Bass 50 watt. Now I’m hooked.
I just pulled the trigger on a 1967 Marshall Super PA 50 W head (model 1963). The plexi PA models don’t get nearly as much discussion as the Lead and Bass models, so I thought I would take a stab at getting some input from 50W Super PA owners in here. I will post some gut shots for everyone to dissect whether modifications have been made or not, as soon as I have them. I already have a few shots from the seller, which I will post here in a minute as long as I can figure out how to do it.
Thanks in advance for any anecdotes on your experiences with this amplifier!
ETA: I know the filter caps have been replaced, as well as the power transformer (with MM Axiom P4550JT-G1). Output transformer and choke appear to be original.
