Marshall 1917 head and speakers

[Clarkespark]

Hi I have inherited a 1917 head with matching speaker columns with 2 x 10" speakers in each.
I am not sure of the age of them I have contacted marshall to try and get some more info but they haven't come back to me yet, any info from you guys would be good.
I am thinking of selling it as this isn't my thing. It works and is good condition considering how old I think it is.

Any offers or info is welcomed.

Cheers Neil

I'm not familiar with a 1917 but judging from the cabinet shape I'd guess it's a P.A. system. Maybe mid-to-late-1960's...?

I'm sure someone here knows what it is, they just haven't seen this thread yet.

Just taken the back off no clues of age, however it definitely is the PA Version shown in the picture on the suggested links (Thanks for that) which were dated 1967. One thing is for sure there are not many about. I have no clue what it is worth any suggestions who or where to get a valuation? I am in the UK.

Cheers

He is george76 on here. He may even make you an offer.

The head is sought after, the speakers not so much.

Good luck!
