Could anyone tell me how original this Major still is? i've also seen some other majors which have a second set of plugins on the left side of the switch on the back. what would those have functioned for? I've noticed that they're missing on this model.427258009_1094853148237162_5435823200968057496_n.jpg427148664_1077813446654574_1005088267216401348_n.jpg

the extra jacks on the back are probably extra speaker outs. The fuse holders have been replaced along with the power outlet and it's missing the tube retainers for the power tubes. Looks like the transformers are original but the picture is really dark. the power switch was changed and the pilot light.

All the important stuff is inside so no-one could really tell how original it is until you post pictures of the inside.

Thank you! those tube retainers are just there to keep the tubes in place right? Would it be a big deal if they wouldn't be present?

It's not a big deal at all....esp. if you don't move the amp around, but they are missing
