‘74 Marshall 1987, Help with perspective purchase

It obviously has been modded but supposedly reversed.
What can you tell me from these pic’s?

Thanks for your time.

I’d want to know if the transformers are original.

Either way, that’s a lot of holes for that price.

Yeah I kind of figured that exact thing, lots of holes.
No tranny info upon request either.
Thanks for the input

I do believe in the ad is says original transformers ,

Besides the holes, it looks like a pretty decent example. Guessing it was something like a tube FX loop - you can see there was an extra 12AX7 at one point.

Also converted to EL34s

I wonder why they needed to drill four holes, unless it had send and return levels?

Trannys, choke, filter caps appear original. Impedance selector changed. Look at ink stamped numbers on top of bells. Should be 1202-164 on larger one and 784-139 on middle one. Looks like a tube driven loop maybe, but all mustards/Pihers/Eries/lamp/switches etc. ok.

Possibly. Maybe a line in/out.

That's a stand up observation on the lager one.

If the amp performs as it should, it will ROCK, those are great amps I had two and both were excellent.

 

[Badstrat]

Even looking at it my ears are ringing.

Then there is this:

FS - 1973 Marshall JMP 50W 1987

1973 Marshall JMP 50 watt, model 1987. Price $3300 out-the-door (includes shipping & insurance). $90 discount if we use PP F&F, Zelle, or money order. In VG/Exc condition for its age. Transformers are original, and I believe all the components are also. The EL34 power tubes are US-made...
