Early IIB

[kaip]

Maybe you can help me date this early IIB ?
It is an Export 60W version with EQ and EV Speaker. (I live in the Netherlands)
Someone has done a Reverb mod. But the Reverbtank is missing.
The serial is 3519 and the code on the Preamp PCB is SP6
Interesting is that it has no heatsink. The paint around the EQ sliders looks very roughly hand painted.
It has some blown resistors probably caused by a bad preamp tube. The back plate and footswitch are missing. So are most of the EQ knobs. Are these EQ slider thinghies on which the kobs sit normally made out of plastic ?
All the tubes are original MesaBoogie tubes. They guy I bought it from had it in his attick for years.

This is a great page with tons of info .
The eq sliders are standard and the chicklets may be available from mesa .
Reverb tanks can be ordered online .
I strongly suggest you NOT plug it into mains power . (But you knew that )
Those supply caps look shot along with what you observed .

That is a great amp for restoring . Good score . 8)
