Anyone think it might be kinda useful (or at least interesting) to see if we can get a list going of rectos and their info? It might help make the history/timeline a bit clearer if we have something to look at and possibly close the gap between where revisions took place and what changes were made.

Those fucking caps are HUGE.

Thanks for the info Charlie. :)

The only thing I wish was different is the power cord. I wish it had the removeable one. I guess I could change it out at some point if I decide to keep it for a really long time, but I probably won't cause it will kill some of the value of the amp.

That is a PITA, but I've gotten used to it. Most of my old Marshalls have the attached cord, and my Bogner and other Mesas do too. My Splawn, Marshall Jubilee, and One of my Older Marshalls are the only ones I've got with detachable cords.
 
That's cool that it has the simulclass/export transformers.

561110 is the output, 562004 is the power.

It's pretty interesting. #0726 has 561136 PT and 562100 OT.

Is that abnormal? I thought maybe it had a Simul tranny because you can use either EL34's or 6l6's?
 
Well, the early early ones had different transformers for sure but supposedly that was under the 500s. With this being 723 having those, and (see my edit above) #726 having the more common ones as well as my #860 having the more common ones, yeah it's pretty interesting.

:doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: I'm an idiot those are my Mk III's transformers. See the RCA Jack for the reverb. I just looked in my pics and I can't find the pics of Ansley's DRs transformers. I had them both apart the same day and took pics, but those must have gotten deleted. :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh:
