Hi guys
Does this 69 look original ?? Am I being paranoid or does it look too clean for a vintage amp ??

More photos would help but so far it looks straight though I see 2 plugged holes in the back panel. It's a model 1986 bass model. Nothing wrong with that. It's basically the "early" circuit. Need to see the transformers.

Thanks for that.
Actually not ideal that it’s a 1986 as I’ve already got a stock 70 Superbass and I’m not sure a 50 watt version of the same circuit is going to be an upgrade. Though I suppose a little less volume would be welcome. The Superbass is ALOT of amp.

I'd say the filter caps are definitely replacements, which is a good thing. The volume difference won't be that much, though, probably about 3-4dB so it's not your ticket to a 'domestic friendly amplifier'... Nice kit, though!
