So yesterday I got the amp. Good cosmetic condition, specially considering the thing is almost forty years old. Everything worked except the reverb, but I think I found the problem, there's a broken lead that I'll fix when I get a tiny faston connector. That should be it. I've taken photos of the interior (how do you attach photos to a message here?) and it's practically the same as the photos of your amp. Your big PS capacitors (that you replaced anyway) were not original but you sure noticed that. Pots are quiet, no scratching, which is remarkable. There's one funny thing, some previous owner removed the fuse socket. I guess it kept blowing fuses and instead of trying to find the right value he (or she) disposed of the thing completely. And here's my question: if you still have the amp, can you tell me the fuse value inside the socket? That would save me some trial and error. Again, many thanks! Best, Alfredo.

Hello, writing from Spain. A couple days ago I found in an online second hand shop an amplifier exactly like the one in this thread, a Marlboro 220R. It was only 29 euro, so of course even knowing nothing about it I jumped at the opportunity. Should reach my home today. At the very least, I thought, I can use the cabinet to make a tube amp, I've done that in the past. So of course I started googleing and I found this thread. I may have some questions for you in the future, if that's okay. For now, what intrigues me are those two transformers on the pcb (or they could be chokes). It's very unusual in a solid state amp, at least for me, and I've seen (and made) a few. Can you tell me anything about them? Many thanks and best wishes. Alfredo Odriozola.
