Marshall
1970 - JMP 50
Model: 1987
Serial Number: S/A 6185 A
A fantastic example of the small box Hand wired JMP 50 with original laydown transformer, with the more usable 50w power section and Plexi tones. It's in very good condition for the year with only minor tolex scuffs to the corners. The tolex, feet, handle and badge all seem to be original(the logo has had a more modern section stuck on, top of the h).
The hand wired tag board looks to be very original with lots of the joints still having the red shellac, with just a few new solders showing service parts that have been changed. The Mustard cap date codes C9 3rd quarter of 1969 & D9, 4th quarter of 1969.
The original Drake 1202-118 laydown main power transformer is present, as is the Drake 784-139 output transformer and original choke. Original Bulgin power socket is present, tested safe and bulgin cable is supplied.
The sticker on the chassis shows that it had its final inspection at the factory on 22/04/70.
