Rather a strange one this, I bought this chassis in a non working state , I put in a sixties(Vox style) mains transformer and a modern valvepower output transformer which itself is based on a RS transformer
Its recently been serviced(by Frank at JPF amps) the valves are new and have not had much playing time.
I bought the headbox and a repro logo (this alone set me back £110) so it is fully functional and looks great on stage, a true one off, I was running a stereo rig. 2 x 20w heads, one dry one wet(delay reverbs) schlepping round 2 cabs however isn't really that practical so I'm moving over to 2 smaller combos
Originally this would would have been a 1x12 combo, it was designed by Steve Grindrod, and his initials are on the inspection slip on the chassis. I did toy with the idea of making a combo, but I like the flexibility being able to use different cabs gives you.
Super simple layout, volume. treble and bass its rather similar to my Marshall 20ws, not unsuprising given the design and the fact it uses el84s. it distorts when you crank it and it is surprisingly loud, it's been my main rehearsal amp for the past few months, I prefer the clean sound to the amp cranked but then my favourite amps are Hiwatts.
To hear some sound clips.

I should add that its missing one of its chassis mounting bolts.
I am willing to arrange postage in the U.K, I use Parcelforce and I fully insure my items. if you would like to buy this and live abroad I am happy for you to arrange your own courier at your own risk, I do pack well and recently sent a Simms Watts head to Italy that arrived in one piece.
As ever you are more than welcome to collect from Holloway N7.
Your basically getting a vintage sounding amp with modern output transformer that you can happily gig it without being afraid your going to trash a valuable amp, like I have mentioned this was recently given a FULL service by a world respected amp tech so your good to go.
The nearest modern amp would be the 2061x reissue which will set you back £1000 new.
THE SALE DOES NOT INCLUDE MY 1972 MARSHALL.(shouty caps off)
