A few comments on the video: 1.) I say "6V6" instead of "6L6" at 1:11:20. 2.) Thanks to Robert Set for the opening musical montage and logo. 3.) We tried jumpering Ch. 1 & Ch.2 for the audio demo, but for some reason it did not record well. 4.) It should be noted that Jim Marshall himself did not actually build the amps.....this task was done by Dudley Craven and Ken Bran.

I was lucky enough to own a '64 or '65 variant of this amp between 1969 and 1974 here in the UK. It had the Marshall name in a solid Perspex plate, and the knobs were the larger variety with brushed aluminium faces. Other than that, the amp here seems pretty much identical, with the weighty transformers and the KT 66s. I loved that amp, but it had a chequered history. I once loaned it to a pal, who forgot to connect the speaker cab and promptly burned out the output transformer. Then I had it stolen - twice! The first time it was recovered thanks to a diligent police detective and a pretty stupid thief. The second time, it was lifted from the band's van, and that was the last I saw of it. So thanks for the memories, Uncle Doug! Always love it when a new video appears.

To be honest with you, I have never opened up an amplifier, however I love electronics and watch as many videos about different aspects of the subject as I can. I do love your videos because of the way you go into what is happening in a circuit and how each component can have such a drastic effect on the overall operation of the unit. Thanks a million for being one of my instructors, it's like being back in college once more, except instead of law, I am learning electronics!
