question about Marshall 1986

[gsnake]

I found a local guy selling Marshall 1986 head. Its actually 1976 so I am not sure if this is the right forum for it, hopefully its fine to ask here.
How could I tell if the parts are original? Here is what I have from the seller so far
Appreciate any help!!

So far so good - although I don't like the output selector link like that.
Need pics of the front, transformer stamp codes and a pic of the circuit board.

Thanks! Here is what I have so far. I guess it is been modified to play lead. Is this still a desirable amp? The price is not bad, about 3K usd..

Here are some more photos I got from the seller

From the images I can see you cannot say exactly what it was/is as no circuit pics.

unfortunately the seller can't provide the circuit pictures. I saw it person yesterday and yes it works but I found that the volumes behave not like they should be from the factory (imo). So some changes were made to the circuit. When the channel 1 and 2 are connected the tone is very low (probably original for the bass), if a guitar just connected to channel 1 upper jack it sounds just like a regular amp.. Anyway, I will think about it more - the overall condition was a bit too rough..

3K even if it's 100% is too much for a mk2 in the states.

i am in Canada and the prices are a bit more expensive here.. but I have decided to pass on it.. too many unknows and not the best cosmetical condition.

Good examples are out there if you're patient. You can get a nice hand wired 72-73 for about the same up North.

idk, there was a 1987 1975 for about 4K sold recently. I guess I will be patient and maybe get lucky!
