Vintage 1971 Marshall Super Lead 100w Original Purple Amplifier Head
You will not find another like this! Found in Germany, an original 1971 Marshall Super Lead 100w amplifier (model number 1959) in original purple tolex, and all in nice and original condition. It’s almost unheard of! The head is a mid-1971 Super Lead, with the rarer seen Drake transformers. The mains transformer is an original Drake 1209-3, the output transformer is a Drake 1201-99, and the original choke. This is a very rare layout, only used for a few months in 1971, and all original to the amplifier.
The EL34 quad is a matched set of TAD replacements, and the 3x ECC83 are a mixture of original and period correct replacements. The circuit board is relatively untouched, with only the absolute necessary components ever changed over the decades. It’s a truly special head, unmolested and in original purple. Honestly – you will not find another like it again. Please see the pictures below as these form part of my description. Any questions, just ask! Please note this is being sold as a matched setup also on my other items, but this auction is for the head only.
