This is the market talking. So do the best you can and upgrade!

Stop trying to "fix" a JCM 900. Sell it to some kid who wants a tube Marshall and buy a JCM 800, JVM, DSL/TSL, etc. and you'll save money and have a better amp.

Ken, if TS likes his amp, then why should he sell it? Personally I love my JCM900, one of the best Marshalls imo, it has a really nice chunky OD channel, with a nice secondary channel with either great cleans, or a vintage kinda crunch. JCM800s are good, but they lack a second channel for cleans (A second amp is good for cleans, with any Marshall, but it's nice to still have it there) and 800's need a boost for metal, JVM's are unreliable, as they're part of the newer range of Marshalls, which use low quality parts, and same for the 2000 series.
