pardon my ignorance, but is/was the Marshall 18 watt available as a head?

I see 18 watt Marshall combo is still available, and I see various boutique clones of the 18w in head form, but I can't find a Marshall 18w head. The closest I have found is the 2061 head, which I gather is not really the 18w in head form, but a similar amp.

I always thought the 2061 is the same as the 1974x, but recently I've seen posts stating that is not the case. I think it is as close as you are going to get though unless you take apart a $2400 (new) handwired 1974x and put it in a head cabinet.

Maybe someone else has more insight into that.

It's only available from Marshall in combo form. There are differences between the 2061 and the 1974. I bought the 1974CX extension cab and use an Egnater Tweaker through it now with the intension of getting a clone head for it. Less money overall with more versatility.
