Default Re: Marshall Amps

Somewhere on this forum is thread about a 1965/6 Marshall Super PA100 that I was asked to service, it had the serial #001. It had two RS o/p transformers, which alerted me that it was something special. Apparently Bran and Craven couldn't at the time, source a single tx that could handle 100W, so they used two JTM45 trannies in series.

The owner didn't even know what he had till I advised him. Marshall invited us up to look at it. They said that Jim Marshall would have made the chassis himself, it was made of aluminium but they soon found that they would easily fracture so thereafter switched to using steel. Surprisingly Marshall didn't make an offer on it considering it apparently being the earliest incarnation of that model, however word got round it later sold for lots of money
