Gents of the Boogie Board,
Let me present my pride and joy!
Fully loaded Mark IIC+ Export model!
A couple of weeks ago I stumbled into this one on a eBay auction, where a guy listed it as a Simul-Class Mark III for about $1600. Bless the guy.
I've been enjoying this beast for the past couple of weeks and I'm loving it! It's got the exact sound I've been looking for! I've arranged an isolated room in the local area for a couple of days, so that I can really crank this baby up.
This is actually my first tube amp, as well as my first Boogie. I kinda feel that I'm not worthy. Anyone want it for free?
It's in pretty good condition. Nearly no scratches or dents in the tolex, and it works perfectly with no flaws. Probably wasn't used that much, and placed in a basement or something... Almost as if I stumbled into a NOS IIC+! ****, I'm lucky... :shock:
Fitted it with brand new tubes (and fuse, if anybody remembers my thread on this a couple of weeks back... ) Tubes are stock Mesa, though, but I wanted to start of with a pretty basic tube setup before I start experimenting.
Ed (Boogiebabies) also confirmed that everything on the preamp board is stock, it passed the effects loop test, and the serial matches as well. (142xx)
Only flaw I can see so far is that the back panel is somehow bent in a little (see last pic) This is kinda weird, 'cause there's no damage on the panel surface itself, so I don't think it was because someone knocked it in. My guess is that the power transformer (being so heavy) kinda pulled the chassis a bit downwards during shipping, causing the back panel wall to bend inwards a bit... if you understand what I mean. Anyone ever seen a similar case before?
By the way, is there a IIC+ club around here as well?
Well, it's born March '85 Here are some pics:
