A few comments on the video: 1.) I say "6V6" instead of "6L6" at 1:11:20. 2.) Thanks to Robert Set for the opening musical montage and logo. 3.) We tried jumpering Ch. 1 & Ch.2 for the audio demo, but for some reason it did not record well. 4.) It should be noted that Jim Marshall himself did not actually build the amps.....this task was done by Dudley Craven and Ken Bran.

[@rillloudmother]

Definitely feeling the opening montage.

Although Jim would frequently be covering cabinets in the early days and his signature can be found inside...

[@davidjames5644]

I was lucky enough to own a '64 or '65 variant of this amp between 1969 and 1974 here in the UK. It had the Marshall name in a solid Perspex plate, and the knobs were the larger variety with brushed aluminium faces. Other than that, the amp here seems pretty much identical, with the weighty transformers and the KT 66s. I loved that amp, but it had a chequered history. I once loaned it to a pal, who forgot to connect the speaker cab and promptly burned out the output transformer. Then I had it stolen - twice! The first time it was recovered thanks to a diligent police detective and a pretty stupid thief. The second time, it was lifted from the band's van, and that was the last I saw of it. So thanks for the memories, Uncle Doug! Always love it when a new video appears.

Uncle Doug is a master of documentation. I have 3 hard drives with my life's work on them. I just finished a Fender 5F11 with the selenium recto. I used the 330K across the 56K and 1N4007 diode anode to the 10K. Bias set at -31.00 vdc. I love these videos. I have been doing repairs for 45 years +. Don't think you know it all. At times you will run into something stranger than fiction. It's the little overlooked things like a bad speaker,Bad Volume pot or tube socket pin that is corroded and will not clean up enough to even make continuity. I said to myself one day, (Why don't you make a file to scrap a preamp tube socket. I wound up using a D string from an acoustic guitar that perfectly fits most any preamp socket and cleans (Files) the socket pins as new. I had a 5E3 vintage amp that would not turn on the cathode feeding the 6V6 power tubes. All the cleaner Deoxit in the world made no difference. Problem found and solved with that D string.. I'll never forget that discovery! I still use it when in doubt.
