This C+ has been Sold. Forgot to list something special about this amp. It has the X101 PT!! (Added a bunch of pics) Mark-IIC+ w/Reverb and EQ - 60/100 (HRG) - Serial# 111xx It started out as a IIC. I sent into Mesa for the + upgrade shortly after I got it about 10 years ago. It's...

What an insightful post! Very well put.

The STR-415's - Yes they are likely the original tubes. And yes again regarding finding a pair of 416's. In lieu of those you could get a pair of Sylvania 6CA7's/ EL34's. Same tube as the Mesa labeled STR-416.

You've priced it fairly

Congrats! Have you tried it through the speaker in the combo? (btw which speaker is in the combo?) I never liked V30's with a C+. I don't remember why as it's been awhile but they may be the cause of the bassy-ness your getting. What Channel 1 volume mod are you talking about, Is it the...

There is so much that goes into getting ones "tone"! Some can have a huge impact while others are more subtle. Pickups, speakers amp, not to mention what tubes in an amp. Guitars themselves are an amalgam-am of items that affect tone (other than the pick-ups). One piece neck through designs vs...

Got any pics of the codes on the X101 PT? Just curious. I thought C+'s with the X101 had the switch for changing voltages for European countries etc. I know Xport trannys were used on older models (IIA's and before) by default but always thought the Xport tranny on a C+ was a special order due...

Fwiw not all Colis had the "K" designation in the serial number (including some made after yours). That said some earlier may not have had the "K" designation.

The Serial number format is normal. It's definitely one of the lowest IIC's I've seen (if not the lowest).. Fwiw it's likely during the end of IIB production and beginning of IIC production a pre-numbered chassis was used for your IIC Below are the general ranges for serial numbers of IIB and...

Hmm good question. The V4 preamp tube feeds the reverb circuit but nothing else. Maybe when it's turned down all the way the signal isn't affected. (This might be different in some Mark series amps which split the reverb circuit between two preamp tubes) Also I'd be curious if the Reverb foot...

Do you have one? If not send me and email and I can send you one (pdf file).

Congrats! Yours also has the Export OT (obviously since you are in AU but it's desirable even in the US). From the IIC Manual: "Also located beneath the chassis is a stereo socket for the optional Dual Footswitch. This will be wired to activate, when applicable, the Graphic EQ and Reverb...

No, and why bother. If you want a vintage straight EL34 amp go buy a Marshall

Those sockets were not designed for EL34's so it's not advisable. EL34's can't handle the voltages of the 6L6 sockets.

A No stripe/ Black stripe wont have the X101 PT (export PT). They are more likely to have the 105 PT.

You can use EL34's in the outer sockets of any Mark series Simul-Class amp including your MkIII

Same here and when playing through a C+ it responds in ways like no other and that the music just flows right outta me......

Nice Sean. Good info! I did some research and found some similar info. It seems like commas and/or periods are being formatted weirdly. Here's a copy of the original text pasted from a "txt" file. Let's see if the formatting is still whacked. -----------------------------------------------...
