Mark III - Is this a green or blue stripe?

[UsrName]

I was told by the seller it was a blue stripe, but it looks more teal to me, which leads me to believe it's a green. I've uploaded a pic, which clearly shows the serial number. Don't really want to open it up to check, so I thought someone here would know. I haven't put it through its paces, yet, but I'm sure I'll love it either way - just curious.

Well, what say you?

Looks like a green stripe.

Green stripe.

Blue stripes to begin with are a dark blue , and even faded look nowheres close to the 'teal' color.

Blue stripe penetration...

It's definitely not that dark of a blue.

It may not be wise to assume Mesa used the same exact Magic Marker for the entire run of Blue Stripes. :lol:
(But it's probably Green.)

The only clear way to know for sure is to pull the chassis and check the pentode/triode mode of the outside sockets.

The green sharpie went teal over time, like mentioned. And with a late S/N like that, it's more than likely a green stripe. And that's cool...you got ALL of the goodies, upgrades and improvements ever intentioned for the MkIII. The best of the best of the best, sir! :wink:
