Vintage 1969 Park Marshall 150w KT88 Major Valve Amplifier Head

You don’t see many of these come up for sale. This is a real nice 1969 Park 150w Amplifier, made by Marshall. As you know, these are pretty much the same as the better known Marshall Major amplifiers. The offset handle and logo – both missing – are a feature seen on no other. Someone had previously added a Marshall logo to this amplifier, which you can see the drill holes of, but the original plexiglass Park logo would have been in the top left hand corner. This particular amplifier is wonderfully original indeed, complete with all the original knobs, feet, silver top vents, all 3x transformers (including a rare C-Core version TF), 4x Brimar ECC83s, and that wonderful little bias pot sticking out of the back panel! However, the original KT88 valves had been replaced by the KT88 pictured before I got my hands on this.

Our tech has recapped this amplifier to lower the noise it was making, and it now plays and sounds awesome – it really does. You can see the remnants of the original band that would have used this – ‘OVERIDE’ – but unfortunately I cannot find anything out about them! This amplifier has been serviced to a playable & safe standard, by one of our leading amp techs. To find out more about what our service includes, please check out our terms and conditions before purchasing. Please have a close look at the high resolution photographs below, as these form part of our description.

At The Music Locker we will do all we can for you to get the instrument you want. You’re more than welcome to come and have a play on this, coupled with one of our vintage guitars!

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.
