    Anybody has an original Mark I user manual?

    It was sent with a few pages printed back and front ... no manual. The information is basically very similar to the reissue though. I don't have an electronic copy but I have all of my original paperwork in an envelope from 1978. Anything particular you want to know?

    Resistance in original Mark I

    The picture is a bit blurry and the angle is a little different. But it looks to me like you have the green wire (which I think on mine was 4-ohm) hooked to all three. I'm not a tech but surely someone here could tell. A better picture might be needed though. Do have have a yellow wire...

    Resistance in original Mark I

    Mine is stock and matches the manual I linked you to. Now someone may have changed the wiring at some time and placed these all in parallel. But the important fact is ... which Power Transformer lead (probably only one if they are in parallel) is hooked up to these output jacks. It might be...

    Resistance in original Mark I

    My '78 Boogie ... looking from the inside ... two on the left are tapped are 4-ohm load (so two 8-ohm speakers would work) One on the right is 8-ohm (one 8-ohm speaker would work) Notice the GREEN wire is the 4-ohm feed from the power transformer and the two jacks are wired in parallel ... so...

    4 Days In Reno

    Thanks ... Jim Weider ... I thought from "The Band". Did a search and found the myspace website ... liked all of it. Then at the bottom he was in The Band. Cool and quite a complement. Thanks for turning me on to some good music. I've owned this '78 original Mesa/Boogie for 30 years now...

    Adding tube bias pot (pics or info)

    I didn't say it clearly ... what I was trying to say is that many think the power amp should run colder SINCE the pre-amp is higher gain (higher than a Fender for example). So too much gain ... from BOTH power amp and preamp might be too much of a good thing ... becoming a bad thing. But...

    Adding tube bias pot (pics or info)

    I need to locate my digital camera ... I think my daughter borrowed it. So is it worthwhile to do that mod on a Mark I? Some seem to say NO the amp should be running colder with the boogie preamp. Then others say YES it's a good idea. Without the mod, what's the best way to check the current...

    Bias caps??

    Thanks BB ... I'll look around.

    Adding tube bias pot (pics or info)

    Just curious. Sounds like you would not want to adjust the tube bias too high since these amps have pretty hot preamps. But it does sound like balancing adjustments would be a good idea ... rather than depending on tube ranges. Did a search ... didn't find any pics. Anybody got any pics...

    Bias caps??

    A few months ago I replaced the old filter caps in my Mark 1. At the time, I ordered two of the smaller caps (bias caps I believe they are called) while placing the order. I did not replace them because: - These caps looked good and reportedly were low risk. - They were also wired in with...

    The Ultimate Mark I - Keef's!!

    He actually said it had the 12AX7 in this amp instead of the fetron. I just thought I noticed the V1 not having the glass tip sticking out of the tube cover in the pictures. It also looked like it had a couple of the caps that mine had in the pix that were designed for the fetron. But I was...

    The Ultimate Mark I - Keef's!!

    Very nice looking amp ... a classic with some mojo. Looks like it might have the "fetron" in the V1 slot instead of a 12AX7 ... like my '78 did. I always liked the sound of the amp before the fetron began to fail. I played the amp for 25 years before discovering the fetron. Since they...

    Both 4 ohm speaker outputs not working? 8 ohm is OK

    It appears to have been the master volume all along! I cleaned all the pots 3 times ... the third time it seemed to be the master volume still doing it. I took it out ... intending to replace today ... but could not find a 1-meg audio pot anywhere. I'm ordering from Acme Guitar Works tonight...
