NAD 1981 Vintage Marshall JCM800 2203 100w Head

Just scored this classic all original 1981 JCM 800 2203 100w Head off Ebay, should go awesome with my 4x12 1960a Marshall Quad Speaker Cab, heres a few pics.

I would say the most valuable JCM800's are first year (1981) 2203 heads, mint condition, all original, vertical inputs, Daly capacitors, and Drake transformers.
Marshall JCM800 2203 (mk2 master volume)
Sought after 'vertical inputs' and 6 capacitor model
Made in UK (1981) - 'N' serial number
100 watts
Running 4 x EL34 power valves and 3 x 12AX7 preamp valves
4/8/16 ohm switchable speaker outputs (2)

Rear

I bet that thing sounds like God with a few angels singing harmony. Especially through Greenbacks.

HNAD, Capt! That is a beautiful amp, and a dream amp for most of us here. You're a lucky, lucky man!
