Help ID Marshall head

Looks like a '69-'70 model 1959 (100 watter).

 

Yup but possibly in a newer box ? White Piping.

 

Could be a crap shoot. I'd want to see what the inards look like.

 

Depends on whats wrong initially.

 

Gut shots would definately help ...

 

The head cab is a Master Volume type (76-81). If you can, take some chassis pix and thread this on the Metro forum.

 

nah, it's one of those old fashioned type amps.
You need a newer one with lots of pc boards and jumper wires and channel switching/reverb/fx loops/ digital fx.

Now quick, give me the name and address of the seller....HURRY!!!

 

I tend to think if something is worth fixing, the seller would fix it themselves. Even if it worked, those amps aren't very practical these days. Not many places you could open it up to make it sound good.

 

Depends how much money you have and how bad you will miss $500 plus the $$ to fix it up.

 

I'd get it for that price. If the the cab has speakers it's worth more than $500 alone.

 

I'd jump on that deal in a heartbeat. Depending on the speakers that cab alone is worth around $500.

 

Get the numbers off of the transformers and then get some gut shots.... sounds like a deal but I bought my 1972 50w for $75.00 'cause the owner didn't know what was wrong with it ... Blown Power Tranny which was not really a problem .....I'd probably buy this one if I were you. Great find.

 

GET IT. Figure out what's in it later. It's worth it for the cab. An old Marshall is one of the simplest guitar amp circuits, so any tech worth his salt should be able to diagnose and repair it with a minimum of bench time. Seriously, for $500, I wouldn't even think twice.
