Classic 50W amp from 1988. Condition is good and everything works as it should.
Note, this amplifier has 5881 power output valves, rather than the more traditional EL34's. I believe this is due to Marshall being unable to source sufficient quality EL34's for a period so used these 5881's for a time
Only notable damage is a small chunk of plastic missing from one side of the carry handle cover. Doesn't affect the ability to use the carry handle. Is shown in one of the pictures ... more
