1970 Marshall Super Lead
Fantastic condition!
Early transition-era 1959 Super Lead. While Marshall moved to brushed aluminum panels on the outside, the interior circuit remained mostly the same as the legendary '60s Plexi models—including the coveted Dagnall C1998 output transformer.
Still has the original paper model tag on the back. It does have a small tolex tear on the bottom corner of the head shell, but absolutely zero holes drilled in chassis—no modifications. The amp has all the original Iskra resistors, Philips/Mullard "mustard" caps, original RS/Radiospares silver mica caps, original pots and jacks, original choke and original Dagnall C1998 output transformer. The same transformer used in older "Plexi" models. Has the 0.68uF bypass cap on the third gain stage and the—sometimes implemented—factory "hot shield" grid wire on V2a, which was later replaced with newer M27500-22RC1S06 shielded silver-plated copper PTFE.
A few common maintenance items have been replaced to ensure the amp is in perfect working order: new ARS filter caps, NOS Piher 10K B+ dropping resistors in the preamp, NOS bias caps, new bias trim pot, new period-correct power tube screen resistors, modern impedance selector, and the PT was replaced with a Mercury Magnetics MP100-475 that produces 480v on the plates. For safety, the "death cap" was removed and the power cord replaced with a grounded three-prong.
It's loaded with healthy, low-noise JJ ECC83 preamp tubes, EH 6CA7 power tubes, and comes ready to RIP!
You'll be hard pressed to find a Super Lead in better condition.
