I've got a 1978 50 watt JMP.. not *that* old, but it's the oldest amp I've got!

I'm sure I'll get trumped but the block logo is a 1965.

My 68 and 69 have been trumped but my even rarer "Canadian 5F6A" won't be Traynor Dynabass #2.

Great pics!! Please keep them coming. I also have a '78 M/Master 50 and love it to death. I've just never seen any 60's Marshalls that I know of. Your 65 is great looking. IS that faceplate original/?

Hi Bruceman!

The little one is a 68 plexi panel marshall 20 - all the connections are on the front including the speaker connections and the mini bulgin connection. And it has RadioSpares trannies - unlike the later metal panel Marshall 20's. It's pretty pristine.

The Park is basically like a steel panel Marshall 50 - it was made by Marshall and I think was a 70 or 71. It's gone now but was pretty amazing. I replaced it with a 1968 Plexi 50.

Cheers

V-verb:
That red head looks like it has 9 knobs on it? Two channels? or lots of tone controls?
