Their history and past players have caused these to be one of the best known, reviewed and invested in amplifiers out there. This particular 50w is unbelievably rare to find – being in brilliant original condition!The serial number, mullard capacitors & celestion speaker codes all date this to 1968! Along with these additional features:Amp model prefix changed from JTM to JMP (Jim Marshall Products)Transformer turned 90 degrees in comparison to earlier models (to reduce hum)Curved lip under the control panel (previously straight lip) Product Details  Serial Number: 11225   Watts: 50 watts  Valves: 2x EL34s & 3x ECC83  Transformer Codes: 784-139Speaker Codes: Matched T1221 (3 x 18GA, 1 x 13HA)Dating to July / August 1968  Voltage Selector: 110v - 250v   Service History  We pride ourselves on the inspection, authentication, and service of each amplifier to UK standards and regulations.  Please note that it is the philosophy of The Music Locker to keep all amplifiers as original as possible, only changing original components when absolutely necessary. This includes valves, capacitors, transformers, potentiometers, etc. This gives the buyer the option of tailoring to their exact needs, and may mean that the amplifier is not operating at optimum performance levels. Therefore, your personal preference may differ, depending on your circumstances (i.e. collector or musician), and you may decide to service the amplifier in more depth upon receiving. The Music Locker cannot accept responsibility for any costs of refurbishment to a standard different to the one advertised.  Cosmetic Inspection This is in brilliant condition. An absolute beauty! We struggle to find anything worth mentioning other than the two missing logos & a few visible scuffs. However, please bear in mind this is almost 50 years old so will not be in the exact condition it left the factory. It is, however, one of the best conditioned plexi's we've had! Please have a close look at the high resolution photographs below, as these form part of our description.   Originality In our opinion, the important parts of this amplifier are original, with a few internal components changed.  Summary  Overall, this is a very rare and collectable amplifier. Not only is this sure to increase in value year on year, but also it can be an enjoyed investment. You're more than welcome to come along and have a play on this, coupled with one of our vintage guitars!  Where else but at The Music Locker!  If you click and buy through eBay, please pay (or make contact) with us within 24 hours, in order to let us know your payment plan.
