Marshall guys I need your opinion

[gbsmusic]

I'm going to possibly by 79 Marshall 100 watt Master lead I know the pictures aren't the best but it's what I have from the guy you can blow them up to look at them does it look right? He had it completely gone through in 2019. Thanks for any info

I’d ask for better pics of the trannys.

Looks good to me from what I can see; but yes I'd prefer to get better pictures if I were buying.

 

[japetus]

Yep ask for better pics, even a shitty phone can do better than that.

If you're a Marshall guy you want this amp. Internet diagnosis thru random pics is kinda like trying to figure if someone has cancer
just by looking at them.
This one has had a rotary impedance switch replacing the plug type which is a huge plus.
There may have been a couple coupling caps replaced and this one could benefit from new filter cans & bias caps.
Having said that ive played these amps since 1982 and by in large if everything is in good shape they are practically indestructable.
And good one's are getting harder to find.
Play it before hand if possible.

Like it was said above, get better pics of the transformers. From what I can see though, they look original. Good luck!

Looks good from the pics. Transformers seem fine.

Yep the transformers appear to be 100% original and the amp looks untouched except what is noted below. The filter caps and bias caps also are original and might need changing in the future.

That amp came with 6550's when it was new and your OPT should say that on the sticker. The bias circuit has a piggybacked resistor for the EL34 change and the Bias splitter grid resistors have been changed from 150K's to what looks like carbon comp 220K's again for the 6550 to EL34 swap.
