Call us anytime on 07970061897 or 07831118877 to discuss.Description 1966 Marshall JTM45 MKII PA 45w Plexi Amplifier, with the cream back panel.This particular model is the extremely rare early period, where Marshall changed the back panel from white to cream, along with some other cosmetic changes including the bigger handle, gold lettering on the logo, etc, etc. The PA lettering, mustard caps (dated late 1964 and first quarter 1966 - a common occurrence in the Marshall factory back then as surplus parts were being used from the years before), the tall transformer, GZ34 rectifier, the new style knobs, amongst other things, date this amplifier to very early 1966.This amplifier is possibly one of the most famous sounding amplifiers - well known for launching British blues-rock music in the 1960s. Product Details Serial: 5274Watts: 45 wattsValves: 2x KT66s (GEC) + 3x ECC83's + 1x GZ34 (Brimar)Transformers: OriginalLogo: Original Gold Fronted (slightly worn and missing the 'M')Knobs: All Original but the three on right have period (1960s) NOS replacement tops.Feet: Original Grey FeetBack Panel: Original Bulgin, Voltage Selector & Ohms SelectorChassis: External Flange Cosmetic InspectionThis amplifier has been gigged but looked after in it's time. As you can see, there are a few scrapes and knocks to the tolex on the corners. The underside of the amplifier is the worst for this, but still retains the majority of the tolex, as you can see in the pictures below. The 'M' is missing on the original Marshall logo. There are two extra screw holes to the backboard, as pictured, where another screw was added on both sides to secure. We've taken these out and left the holes as they are, but these could easily be added back.We've tried to be as honest as possible regarding the condition and, quite frankly, it's not as bad as we describe above. The pictures show clearly the cosmetic condition from all angles. Originality We believe all the parts that matter are original, as pictured. There was previously a 'master volume' added to the back panel which has been completely and professionally reversed. The back panel has been plugged, as pictured.As mentioned, the knobs are all original but there has been three period (1960s) replacement tops to them. This is hardly recognisable but we wouldn't want to sell it without clarity. There has also been two pots changed. Service History We pride ourselves on our inspections and the professional service of each amplifier, making this ready to plug in and play anywhere within the UK. Summary One of the best quality amplifiers you'll find. These exceed the quality of most new amplifiers and are always on the increase in regards to collectability.
