Anyone know when the rectifier cabinetry made its debut? It is said the amp was announced in '91 for '92 so did 1992 also bring the cabs? Both OS and Trad 4x12's and horizontal 2x12 right off the bat? I have a C16645 with March '93 V30's. I thought it was the perfect candidate for new wrapping...

In the 90's Mesa offered taurus tolex in 4 marbled colors- red which is likely the same thing as wine, blue which I've posted I really like but isn't the easiest to find, grey which many DC5's are dressed in and is still available, and green. Tho I've seen the option on sales lit, I had never...

I'm hoping some of the plus officiandos or even comancharos can chime in on this "barn find". Can someone let me be lazy and list the IIC+ stages? It is my understanding that V1 is the clean gain and V3 for lead gain and V5 is of course the PI. That leaves reverb on V4 along with the loop...

Fulfilling a long standing desire for a 4x12 of MS-12's. Heads up: no front loading a LS 4x12 due to the front lip clearance. There are also 2 MS-12 Black Shadows I just discovered tho some of you may know this.

hey all, I've seen this before and here it is again. 16359D and I have no idea what the D is. I've seen 14350B which was an out of place IIB+ but D? Black X in corner, black line above cord, long chassis D likely because of EL34s, RX no G, reverb on front. Alex was nice enough to send pics...

Someone locally is moving out of state and unloading a hoard. He has delivered 36 so far to a local music shop and is awaiting a bid for these 20 pictured. No Marks. One of the ED's has posted for $699, most have not. The Denver Metro is about to be flooded with these Mesa's. Bunch of DC's...

For all you woodworkers and craftspeople out there, what's your favorite wood glue with a bent to not coming apart ever again and withstanding outdoor conditions to be on the safe side? On a cursory look it appears Titebond III Ultimate is a super strong one. In the other corner is Evo-Stick...

Does anybody know the name for this DC era grille jute? I see plenty of black/tan and black/gold jute but if anyone knows what this is called from experience I would appreciate it. It has two black horizontal strands to one vertical tan/gold. I am thinking it is the grill I'd like to use with...

Only recently have I given the tremoverb a look but never really paid attention to the rectoverb/tremoverb. Are the two twins with different feature sets or different amps? I grabbed one because of the burled hardwood, pics very soon, even with scratches and nicks. At 24 1/32" it's one of the...

I see all the power amps on mesa's out of production list and don't see main stores selling them. I live under a rock for sure- but when did they disappear? The 'when was my amp made' page hasn't been updated still showing current for the 2:fifty and 2:90. It doesn't even list the 2:100. Just...

Maybe some of the senior people on here, not a crack at your age mind you, can help me with something I was wondering. We all know Mike has a loop mod which he obviously masters across several variants of pre-amp boards for the Mark IIB. Since "everyone" wants a IIC+ these days, questions...

Looking for old Marks, sob, power amps and bass amps that aren't working or not working right. If you don't want to send them in for repair I am interested. And if they are too far gone I might be interested in a parts amp. Some people find peace of mind grabbing their tackle box and pole. In...

All right and ear we go! You cant really say it is post covid but music gear is in a sure hangover from a 1999 style party. At one point someone was willing to pay an insane price for my plus coli so it is/was real, but things have cooled down for now for the majority of gear it would seem...

In one corner we have a new to me SOBR the Wood Rat taking on heavy weight champion KOB the Wood Ox. As you can see the Sobra toothed Wood Rat has 24 kills as an underweight to Woody KOB's 16 as the reigning coliseum class heavyweight favorite.

Up for grabs at gc- Red Stripe III serial 21415, no pic yet, 4 tubes, GEQ, didn't ask about reverb. With their 10% promo it's $1350. **** cheap for a 4 tube red. I already have DRG red combo and all I ask is to keep an eye out for a cheap purple, especially a coli even if it needs works...

When replacing fixed bias resistors (or other) with trim pots, is there a standard way to connect them? Thinking of what a resistor sees a rheostat is the same two terminals but I never hear anyone say hey replace your bias R with a rheostat. So does the non source terminal go to ground and the...

Does anyone have pics of a close to stock Boogie with a SP3 board? I need to order some parts for a couple amps I'm working on so I brought out my project A70x to see what I need to bring this thing to (hopefully) life. As you can see it is not stock and I've never owned the OG to know what...

"Honey do your filter caps have warts?"

I'd like to do away with power cords on some old marks. Has anyone done the conversion? It seems the earliest IIB's I have used crummy power cords that you often see taped up because the insulation peels off. These coli's and likely any 15" have round stamped chassis donor holes so those might...
