Unboxing Issue: Scratched Transformer on New JP-2C

[Guitar Speed Trainer]

Hi everyone, I need your advice on my new JP-2C.

I just received my brand-new Mesa Boogie JP-2C, and while the package arrived in perfect condition (no damage to the box), I noticed something unusual on the transformer when I unboxed it. It’s completely scratched, as you can see in the photo below.

Is this something normal for a new amp, or should I be concerned? Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks in advance for your help!

That just looks like leftover glue or some other industrial product from when the tranny laminations were put together. Lots of Mark transformers look like that, and I think I've seen other JP2C's with similar streaks. How does it sound? What's your serial number?

What you're looking at is varnish that they dip the transformers in after they're assembled. It is not scratched, this is completely normal and nothing to be concerned about
