Vintage P.A (1972)

rineanna · 06-20-2011, 01:17 PM

I was wondering if anyone has ever seen an old vintage P.A. I have one and the logo is just block capitals (MARSHALL). It's not super or master it just says PA. 100 by MARSHALL. It has four inputs. I can't find any pictures on the web. I can upload some if people want.

Never mind... didn't fully read the OP.

Cheers!

Pictures help.

george76 · 06-21-2011, 10:24 AM

sounds interesting. post pics. block logo = 1965 or earlier.

rineanna · 06-21-2011, 11:24 AM

I tried posting pictures earlier today and it said that they will be posted after a moderator reviews it. How long does this usually take?

Let's speed things up - which one of these looks most like it:

No 1 - Master PA. There are a couple of layouts of this one, plus early versions are in a metal housing, but the general look is the same, i.e. a lot different from the more usual Marshall heads.

No 2 - the common or garden 100 watt PA head, 8 inputs, wide panel but general look is like a pre-1976 guitar amp.

No 3 - same amp as No 2 but with a Gold block logo, as seen as the feet of The Who in this pic. No known examples in circulation with these badges and 100 watt circuit!

No 4 - the JTM45 amp head with block logo. Also appear with smoother covering cloth and a dark red on silver badge instead of the black/gold.

It is like No. 1 - the owner sent me some pics. The logo is just not a standard plastic logo like the one in the picture, it is printed on the front with capital MARSHALL letters, like the rest of the info on the front.

Hi Kuli - it's Tommie here. Thanks for the info!

rineanna · 06-21-2011, 03:51 PM

rineanna · 06-21-2011, 03:53 PM

Hi Tommie - small world! Well the owner had problems posting the pictures, but it seems like they arrived now.

rineanna · 06-22-2011, 06:11 AM

More pics

rineanna · 06-22-2011, 06:14 AM

And some more

mike mike · 06-22-2011, 10:15 AM

That is sweet looking!

JayCM800 · 06-22-2011, 10:18 AM

So, does that thing work and how's it sound?

rineanna · 06-22-2011, 10:30 AM

I haven't played it in a while but it works fine and sounds great. Very clean

MM54 · 06-22-2011, 04:09 PM

Very interesting... I can't say I've seen any like it.

MartyStrat54 · 06-22-2011, 08:16 PM

Same for me. What year was it made? Is it on the sticker or does it have a verifiable SN?

EDIT: Sticker says 1972. That is really an odd duck. What power tubes does it use?

rineanna · 06-23-2011, 06:37 AM

It uses EL34's
