Vintage 1969 Orange Matamp OR200 200w KT88 Valve Amplifier Head
Vintage 1969 Orange Matamp OR200 200w KT88 Valve Amplifier Head
This amplifier, originating from Sweden, could possibly be one of the rarest Orange Matamp items out there! These were made in exceptionally small quantities early on by Orange Matamp. Comes complete with all original Partridge Transformers, and the majority of original components. The 4x KT88 valves are all JJ replacements, along with the 2x ECC83s on the chassis. The external 2x ECC83s are both period – one being Mullard, and the other Mazda. Some of the parts date to 47th week of 1969, so we believe this to be late 1969, or very early 1970. The previous owner added a PPIMV (master volume) modification to the amplifier, which is awesome! We are happy to reverse this modification before selling it if the buyer wants it. A few light marks throughout, but nothing significant. Please check out the in-depth pictures below as these form part of our description.

The Music Locker prides itself on offering vintage and collectable pre-owned instruments and equipment (the Products).
We take all reasonable steps to ensure the equipment has been inspected by a competent person in the UK to ensure it complies with UK safety standards. This may mean it does not comply with the current standards in the country in which it will be subsequently used. It is the purchasers’ responsibility to ensure it is inspected by a competent person knowledgeable with the relevant electrical safety standards within that country, prior to connecting to any live electrical circuit.
It is the philosophy of The Music Locker to keep all items as original as possible, only changing original components when absolutely necessary. This includes valves, capacitors, transformers, potentiometers, frets, etc. This gives the buyer the option of tailoring to their exact needs, and may mean that the item is not operating at optimum performance levels. Therefore, your personal preference may differ, depending on your circumstances (i.e. collector or musician), and you may decide to service the item in more depth upon receiving.
The Music Locker cannot accept responsibility for any costs of refurbishment to a standard different to the one advertised.
