The speaker wasn't made in the USA?This is a NO-NO.
Can anyone tell me why? (Apart from the broken tube...)

He could get tripped up on the footswitch or the ext cab wire?

The wire is touching the unbroken power tube and will melt when he turns on the amp?

@swede: Good luck to you to get your dsl running again pretty soon.
Played a Little more with my brand new dsl 40c. I replaced the Speaker cable today with a thicker cable (2,5cm square diameter) which had a positive impact on the Sound at the lows. It is not really a major difference but but nice minor Change for the better. Switshing from Triode to Pentode mode really surprised me most what major influence that does have on sound. Since I was playing at home I only had the dsl in the Triode mode. I liked that Sound but I was missing the agression in the hights the real marshall bite. One switsh and boom there it was going in the Pentode mode. So I guess the rockheads wanting the agressive vibe should play the dsl in Pnetode mode even at lower levels and the vintage People looking for a classic warm tone most likely will be best suited with the Triode mode.
I just checked the prive for the 70/80 Speaker in Germany it is around 48 bux as creamback for example costs 130 bux. This kinda feeds my theory that marshall just placed that speaker inside the combo cause it is really cheap. I just hope they rethink their philosophy cause somehow money is beeing saved at the wrong spot. No surprise so many peolpe reported in this thread they are much happier with a differnt speaker inside this Combo.

Dunno. Is it cause he has an open bias probe with no tube attached waiting for the amp to be fired up which is sending current to the unconnected clips? Hey I'm guessing here!
