Marshall JMP50 1969 original?

[The_Punisher91]

Hi there
i search a long time to find this amp
and know can you help me to find out if this is a original model

first picture is front: The Marshall logo is of course not original
( the seller said he replaced it because the old has broken)

secon picture is the back: i have never seen this serial number so oblique
and the O after Serial N is so little.
(all pictures of original JMP 50 year 1969 have a big O,
and the number is straight not oblique)

Please can you help me to find a answer

Regards
Thomas

hi thomas!

welcome to the forum!

the pics don´t show enough of the amp to tell if it´s "original".
the serial-# looks fine to me - the doyle-book shows a pic of a late-60´s marshall with a similar type.
i am more puzzled by the fact that the number only contains 4 figures instead of the more common 5 figures...
and then - what about the board, the transformers etc.?
we need more info to be helpful...

also, make sure, that the owner didn´t drill new holes to mount the big logo - otherwise you could detract a couple of 100 euros from the asking price


also, i think there are better places to find expert-advice on vintage marshalls:

Thanks for the answer 68goldtop

the 4 figures are normal
i looked at same model and year
and there were always only 4 figures at the amp
