Re: Marshall models ??? quote: "This makes sense...I have a '75-'76 2204 that is "boxed in an "old-style" PLEXI-(large-box), large logo, 2 inputs, & "JMP" stamped on left of bat-toggles...chassis is actually puched-out for 4 inputs...BUT... the control panel plating covers 2 of them..."         Frank, I've seen this also put not the older box, just the 4 input chassie with the 2 hole on the control panel. I'm sure they were trying to save money and use what was left over. It makes sense.             quote: "This particular Marshall box is signed by JIM MARSHALL himself! (in pencil!)...this model has been defined to me as "a transitional Marshall"?..."         Sure, it's when they switched from the 4-input to the Master Volume series in 1976         quote: "it has the LOWER VDC on plates...= 383vdc...I have "modified-front-end" to "1987 specs...Frank"         You know I noticed the older master volumes ran at a lower plate voltage as well. When they came out with the re-designed JCM800 look (same circuit) the voltages were higher but it's just my findings is all. Anyone else ever experience this?         Trace
