It's been in storage in a garage and in an attic for 25 years. The owner was an elderly man and passed away. His son is now selling his property and pulled it out of the garage. I drove 11 hours round trip over the weekend to go get it and paid cash on the spot.
It's also a rosemary amp which my 1974 isnt
I plan to restore it, all new bolts/screws (they're corroded to the point the screw heads are coming off), clean the original sockets, remove the death cap (I'll hang onto it for novelty), install a new 3 prong chord, remove the polarity switch, and order a new replacement faceplate with no polarity switch.
It came loaded with EL34s but I need to reverse engineer the circuit board to see what it was designed for. Since it has a polarity switch, my gut tells me it should be loaded with 6550s.
I wasn't looking for another marshall, but I came across it randomly online. I thought I'd never come across one in my pricepoint and always thought a PTP marshall was out of my reach. Super excited
