What's your opinion?
Go look at the pics posted by Koprofag on Page 2 of this thread and the responses.
Also see last last posts on Page 3 of this thread - same pics with further clarification.
Take your chasis out and compare it to the pics.
Since you have a Simul-Class amp you'll be able to tell (blue or green) by the tube socket wiring shown in the pics on that page of this thread.
I've always guessed a blue mark/ stripe made with a blue marker could fade to teal just as easily as green mark/ stripe could fade to teal.
Now go pull your chasis! ;-)

sluggo said:Ok - I may have the last Blue stripe ever made. I have a 60W combo (2 Mesa STR420 Green tubes only) with the Celestion Black Shadow C90 speaker, Reverb, graphic EQ, non-simulclass. It has the serial number decal below the power cord - #28288!!! The guy I got it from was the original owner - he gave me all the literature and even the showroom hangtag. All price lists/manuals were dated 1996, and under the chassis between the tubes is written in blue marker "04/97" with the same initials as on the back. On the back below the power chord are initials"MB"in marker, with a star written below them.
Could this have been a custom build for someone?
Please chime in - I love this amp, but everything I read confuses me, as there are conflicting opinions on all the boards.
Thanks!!!

Being Sluggo's amp a 60 watter, I believe it is a blue stripe.
The serial number certainly strays into the blue territory. Is it stamped into the chassis or a sticker? There are so many examples of "exceptions" to the S/N rules. Price-wise, there's no difference so if it's a good deal, don't let the stripe influence you. Once you have it, if you just gotta know, open it up and check for triode wiring on the power stage.Brad737 said:Hello all,
I'm looking at possibly adding a Mark III to my amp collection. I found one advertised as a Green Stripe, but it has a strange serial number. It's "A228xx", which makes me think it should be a Blue. But I'm confused by the letter A. Is that normal? The stripe actually looks kind of teal or aqua. For the record, it's Simulclass, with GEQ, and reverb.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brad
