Good examples of this stone cold classic amp are getting harder to source - people tend to hold onto old amps that deliver big vintage tone at living room levels. Mic this up and marvel at the size of the sound. A Marshall stack in tweed clothing?

All original where it matters, although it should be noted that the power transformer is dated 1964 - of course this makes no difference to the sound, and it looks like it may well have been replaced a long time ago, quite possibly at the time. Pots, speaker and audio transformer are all 1961. Other than that it came to us having had some minor work and we've given it a sympathetic overhaul to make it safe and sound its best.
