At The Music Locker we will do all we can for you to get the instrument you want, including part-exchanges.Description  Vintage 1970 Marshall JMP 50 Plexi 50w Amp Where can you go where Marshall is not a household brand? They are built to the highest quality and are extremely collectable in the modern market year on year.This particular model is the extremely rare crossover period (1969-1970), where Marshall changed the panels from plexiglass. The inside circuit, as pictured, is the same beautiful circuit that made these “Plexi 50s” so sought after! This means you can get that classic Marshall sound at low volumes! This is no exception to the rarity and build-quality of these favoured early JMP’s.Product DetailsSerial: 9180AWatts: 50 wattsValves: 2x EL34s (Marshall Brand) + 3x ECC83’s (Brimar)Transformers: 1x Original 1x Period Correct Replacement (sounds awesome!)The mullard capacitors date to early 1970 & the chassis is dated to 1970 too.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 great condition. An absolute beauty! There are knocks and scrapes to this gigged amplifier, but nothing significant. It is awesome to see the original logo is still intact! The back panel has been replaced at some point in its past, but it looks the part.  Please have a close look at the high resolution photographs below, as these form part of our description. Originality In our opinion, one of the transformers have been changed - hence the price - and the back panel is also replaced. 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.
