Vintage 1988 Marshall JCM800 4010 Amplifier Combo Ex Norman Beaker
Vintage 1988 Marshall JCM800 4010 Amplifier Combo Ex Norman Beaker
I’m truly privileged to have met Norman Beaker a few weeks back, when he offered me his old amplifier. This amplifier has been played on a stupid amount of incredible concerts, recordings, and can be seen pictured documented at the majority. Norman sent me a huge file full of pictures of this very amplifier being used with many greats, most notably Van Morrison. I spent a good while with my wife listening to some of the great stories Norman had about his past. A real special opportunity!
The amplifier itself is a 1988 Marshall JCM800 1×12 4010 Combo, complete with a fitted flight case. It is original internally including the Celestion G12 speaker and all 3x transformers. The amplifier has been well looked after and regularly serviced and checked. It’s had 2x new EL34 Ruby valves inside it, along with replacement ECC83s. Otherwise original internally. Externally there are a few scuffs and scrapes as you can see, but all come from many decades of use! Please see the pictures below as these 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.
