Ebay 2C+.... I still like mine better!

Isn't it odd that it has a half power switch label on the face plate intead of a simulclass label?

Thanks for the welcome and comments. I'm so excited I have a simul! I had no idea except that this amp sounds unreal and I knew I had something special. I bought it 2 years ago with a 4-12 cab for 1250.00. I drove 3 hours to get it and it was well worth it. The guy had no idea how special this amp was. I told him but he didn't care! Good for me. It's funny that I am from the Bay Area and order my first Boogie when I was 17 from Prune Music. Many years later after going through ever amp imaginable. I'm back and never leaving home again! And guess what, I bought this 2C+ for the rhythm sound!!!

Has anyone ever had their shell replaced?
Thanks,
Mugambi

Don't throw the original shell away.

No.

Screen Grid resistors look changed. It does have some of the cleanest wiring I have seen.

Thanks for the overview. I didn't know exactly what I had here until you boogie experts helped out. What are the screen grid resistors for?

Thanks.

I know this is an old thread but that guy Jamcity4 is awesome to deal with, totally legit. I bought my IIC+ off him in 2001 for just $1400. I think i made out.

It's the same thing as a deep knob. This SN is 13870. It's non-simulclass but my friend has a loaded IIC+ and we had them right next to eachother with the same exact settings on an H30 loaded 4x12, EXCEPT my presence was on 5 or 6 and his was on 0. They sounded identical. I always have people tell me how there should be a big difference but they can't bring up any real life direct comparisons. I will have them side by side again this coming Saturday.

Looks like a nice amp. 8)

Why would such a late IIC+ have a "Gain Boost" face plate? The "Pull Deep" came out around 12500-12600 with the exeption of the long chassis and K series. They came out a bit later as Mesa used up the "Gain Boost" stock.

Saw that too, I though maybe he forgot and it's 12xxx.

Not sure, but it definetly is 13780. Maybe they liked to call it a gain boost on the particular model that i have, it's non-simulclass and 60 watts. Just 2 power tubes.

The gain boost plates should have been long gone by 13800. I would assume that is is a January or February of 1985 with that serial number.
I have 1312X from 6/84, 1362X from 10/84 and 1406X from 2/85. All have "Pull Deep". The 1312X has a different setting for the EQ in/out/auto, but this is normal on early IIC+'s. Regardless of the 60 watt status it should have had a " Pull Deep" face plate. Very odd.

my Non Sim Jan '85 IIC+ (just sold it) was serial # 13973

Another Dec of '84 I had was #13830.

Both were non - Sim Pull Deeps.
