Vintage 1979 Park Marshall JMP Model 1229 100w Amplifier
Vintage 1979 Park Marshall JMP Model 1229 100w Amplifier
This is a truly incredible Park (Marshall) 100w amplifier dating to 1979. I’ve not seen another like this – model 1229 – which has 5881 valves inside. I saw this with the long term owner online, and had to snap it up! Upon inspection of it, I believe this was sent back to Marshall during the mid-90s EL34 shortage period, and had a transformer replacement to suit the new 5881 valves they were using. It sounds truly awesome!
The 4x 5881 valves are Sovtek and the 3x ECC83 are Marshall branded. Both selectors to the rear panel have been hardwired to 16ohms and 230v UK voltage, which is reversible but I’d recommend a step transformer for anyone outside of the UK. Cosmetically in good condition – with quite a few scuffs and scrapes as you can see. It’s been well loved and well played in it’s lifetime for sure. A great amplifier that truly rocks. Please see the pictures below as they form part of my 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.
