Hello. Sort of new here and coming NAD

[Santooni]

Hello all. I’m new here by this name, but did have a login in the past. Have not logged in in some years. I blame it on excessive inbibation last week but I purchased a 1974 Boogie Mark I. 60-100 w/EQ. Wood/wicker. Altec. SN A419. Have any of you guys seen this one or know anything about it?.

Mainly just wanted to introduce myself and may have some questions once I get this amplifier. Due in next week. I will likely remove the chassis and take some pics.

Thanks for having me.

That’s beautiful. Best advise I can give is to dial in your tone with your ears, not your eyes. Don’t worry about what number the dial is on.

Thank you. Going to send it to MB for a little spa treatment. I do notice sticky sliders and knobs. Don't think it's been played much in a long time.

Been trying to look up the xformer codes, but don't see these exactly.
606-5-37
606-5-36

Do these signify 1975 production?

Nice! Final play test by the man himself, Randall C Smith.

That looks like one of the originals, that sold at Prune Music. It has the Altec Speaker that some of the amps came with. At that time Randall was the one who built and signed every amp that came out. Truly a keeper and one to have Mesa go through and check the system. Think Santana when you crank it up.

Looks awesome man, congrats. Post some sound samples if you can. I'm not a Mesa historian by any means but seems like it's in good condition for its age. Who knows who might have played through it at some point?

Thanks. Shipping chassis off to Mike B. this week.
