'69 JMP Plexi Repro

Post by page361 » Sun Dec 22, 2013 6:32 pm

Happy Festivus too all!

I thought it might be fun to kick my JMP repro up a notch by making it look like an export model. So with the help of Robert at Valvestorm who provided me a great looking back panel, I covered up the hole in the Marstran chassis with a stainless steel plate that was originally punched for an IEC ...then added a hard wired AC cord.

I also changed out the Ohm selector with the vintage repro from the JTM50 Neil built.

Finally, I added a voltage tag board Brian H. made for me - he had just enough material left to hook me up. All in all the mini project turned out pretty good - gotta love this amp!

Here's a comparison between the Repro and my 45 year old '69 Plexi...with the MV on the Repro it sees quite a lot more daylight (gigs) than the 'real deal ...and does a great job!
