Mark IIa-Tell Me What You Think

[njmusicman]

Thinking about picking this up to keep my Mark I's company, but I have a chance to get a IIb instead. This IIa has nice wood and front, but do insides look kinda beat to you? Also, no heat sink/fan on the right side of the back of the amp, like most Mark models have? Just wondering if I should go with the IIb instead? Both are wood and wicker, the IIa looks nicer cos the wicker has darkened nicely.

Here is the IIa and like I said, insides look kinda beat, right?

If you already have a Mark I, I would go for a II-B which is a brighter amp.
The II-A is darker and closer in sound to the I.

I'm gonna go for the IIb, better channel switching and the IIb looks in real nice condition.
