I need help with a Boogie Buy and Mod Possibilities..PLease!

[AZToo]

I am close to trading my 1966 Super Reverb for a 1979 Wood/Cane cab, 15" combo Boogie. Can anyone help with these common questions....sorry I am sure they are repeats....

Would you do the trade? 66 BF Super Reverb for a 1979 Mark II? I already have an original Mark I.

Questions:
Is there a significant enought difference in tone from the Mark I to the Mark II?
The amp is labled 6/79 under the chassis. Would this make it a Mark II (a?)?
The obvious question, can a IIA be modded to IIC+ specs?
Does Mike B still do these modds?

Any help would be great... Love this board and Now I can participate, I just bought an original (I think) 1977 Mark 1 in Cream Tolex with Reverb and Graphic. Oooooo, grind Grind GRIND!!! KRANGGGGGGGGG!!!

No, I wouldn't trade a BF for it. Even if you didn't have a MKI but considering you do it's a bigger NO

I already have an original Mark I.

Yeah probably a IIA

The obvious question, can a IIA be modded to IIC+ specs?

No

Does Mike B still do these modds?

He can't do a IIA to a C+ mod.
The C+ pre-amp boards are no longer available and that is what he'd need to do any sort of upgrade to a C+ from a IIA

Any help would be great... Love this board and Now I can participate, I just bought an original (I think) 1977 Mark 1 in Cream Tolex with Reverb and Graphic. Oooooo, grind Grind GRIND!!! KRANGGGGGGGGG!!!

I agree with george...btw, I think you should trade for a Boogie mark V, instead!! (hey, I just happen to have one...)

I feel the II & I are pretty different ....
