Is it a mark I Combo w/graphic EQ?

Says in the auction description that this thing still has the original tubes in it!! How would 30 year old tubes sound?? lol

Thanks

unless they were used and abused, they would sound the same. tubes don't degenerate with age, which is why people invest so much $ in New Old Stock tubes.

it looks like a mark1 at first glance.

Looks like a Mark I or II

i think thats a mark 2. im pretty sure that the mark 1 doesnt have a 5-band equalizer

Not original tubes. Mesa didn't label their own tubes in MK1 times, AFAIK. They used Groove Tubes at one point. Maybe the preamp tubes, I can't see them.

Say hey all,
I ain't no expert :roll: , but I would guess that it's a Mark I. Because, it has 2 instrument inputs. A Mark II would have 1 instrument input and a footswitch input. But what do I know?

My Mark I has the 60/100 switch on the rear panel,far right side and a toggle switch for the EQ on the front next to the standby switch. Also mine has a presence knob on the rear panel, this amp does not even have one. Also there is no Mesa Engineering or Mesa/Boogie Ltd. label below the toggle switches. Very strange.

A MK I with a very rare early EQ option and faceplate.

As BB says,

Early Mark I with the silk screened faceplate. Very nice and rare. Most are the Aluminum Face Plate.

It has had some mods done to it - effects loop etc., non- original speaker.
