Hi there!
I've just bought a Mesa Boogie Mark second hand, serial number is 3984. I suspect this amp has gone thru a heavy modding process. Both external and internal. I hope you can help me!!
What I know for sure is that this was originally a combo that was reconverted to rack-mount system (the chassis has an engravement that says "combo" next to a very long number.). The front panel looks like a Mark IIb.
Front panel
Back Panel
And this is the channel-switching pedal. (this looks original)
If we look at the botom of the chassis it can be seen that this amp was made in 79'. AFAIK Mark I were made at least up to 1979 so this may be one of the first Mark II or Mark IIb, is't it?
This a view inside the chassis, I suspect some kind of modifications have been made, but I haven't gone thru the circuit yet. On one side of the chassis there is a stick of Nau Engineering, this may be the company that made the rack-mount change. I have asked them and I am waiting for response.
Finally a general view of the chassis.
Any info about this amp that you could tell would be greatly appreciated. Also some pictures of the original wiring too so I can compare to mine.
Thanks a lot!
