It’s possible it had original GE6550’s in it or some other super rare glass. Probably kept the tubes and sold them to make more than the amps worth.

Makes me want to get a white headshell with a black logo from sourmash for my reissue lol
It’s named Abaddon… might install the Marshall logo upside down

Could be cool amps if you sent them to Mark Cameron for a little improvement.

Due to the tariffs, Mark has had to push back deliveries to "When pigs fly".

I love my mini Jubillee and I'd love to have another. I just saw MacSabbath live and his 1987x tones were great!

Those are so cool
If I bought a Marshall stack from my local pawn shop I’d make them throw in a likely stolen push mower and some bungee cords to keep it in the always-on mode

@Racerxrated @Exo-metal or others...
May go look at the Super lead white stack on Monday, what should I look for or good resources on guidance of what to look for? It includes the cab which assuming the 100 means it's greenbacks/supposed to be? The pic of the back says it's a 1974 on some post its. They will open it up for me if I want to look inside. Also, they do have the tubes for the major, apparently, does everything else look right in that back pic of that one? Can any of y'all tell me what's going on with those two brick colored plates that are stacked on each other?

The power chord isn’t stock and neither are one of the fuse blocks. I’d be concerned of a damaged PT that’s been replaced which is common for amps of this vintage especially.
Check the fuses to see if they’re blown.
Don’t be fooled by faraday end cap replacements of the old PT onto the new one to fool others into an original if it has been replaced. Look for screwdriver marks on the PT screws. Take lots of pics of the iron and look for identification codes.
Find out if the electrolytic caps are original dalys. If so they have date codes on them that will date it accurately - take pics of them.
Look at the wiring and see if any has been replaced. It will give hints as to whether something is wrong.
As far as the major is concerned that is how they attached the OT to the chassis and wired it. The wires are soldered together and then a Bakelite cover is placed on top for protection. That’s how they did it back in the day.

All things best to my knowledge...Black logo is not original and the Tolex may not be either. The cab is probably not vintage with the newer style 1960 model plate it has in the lower left corner. Also the 100 logo could have just been added. You would want to pull the back and see the speakers.
The amp, if '74 will have a PCB, totally normal.
Bottom line will be... does it sound bitchin' and have they priced it right for what it is. I used to thumb my nose at 74 and later super leads but then I stumbled upon my '75 Lead and Bass at a decent price and couldn't deny it sounded killer. Have had it for several years now.

Experts on here might be able to tell, but the back pic of the white one looks like Elephant tolex with its bigger markings. They started using that in 75/76.

Not for me. I don't need anymore amps, mainly just want to make sure that I'm not getting ripped off if I buy it for someone who might care about originality or whatever. That way I have more knowledge to haggle with is all. Kind of figured the cab isn't from the same period, mainly was just curious if the 100 is suppose to mean greenbacks or some sort of special edition or something like that. Thanks for the heads up!
