Hi!! Just got this Marshall JCM 800 2204 50W. It is supposed to be a 1987. Is there any way to read the date from the serial number? Still have to open it an look on the chassis.. thanks

V = 1987

Ok I finally managed to open it and yes it is an 1987. One could be tempted to do some mods but I will just keep it as it.

If it was modded before, do what you will. If it was not, you’d be far better off leaving it alone with all the aftermarket accessories that provide gain and FX loops and the value of having an unmolested one after 3+ decades of Ppl fucking the originality out of these (becoming more scarce as original) amps
