Marshall 8200 Bi-Chorus Head - Oh poop!!! Its NAD:

This old amp sounds great. It fires up with a big "Thump!" even with master volume at zero.

It also plays the local FM radio station (even without a guitar plugged in) but I've had that happen before. The Mesa Fillmore will also play the station (faintly) up on the hill behind us sometimes (95.1 KFROG) so, I'm not sure that's such a huge problem.

Note the fracture between 's' and 'h' and also on the tail of the 'M'. This script was broken in 4 places, two complete separations.

Very nice work, Robert.

That does look like a versatile amp. I like the separate EQ sections for each channel. The separate chorus controls for each channel is pretty nice, too.

So, what does the second switch on your foot switch do? Does it control the effects loop or the chorus?

One button switches clean and dirty. The other is chorus on or off.

I did try the dual Marshall footswitch from the Origin 50H. It's PEDL-9016 and it works and illuminates too!!!!
 
Wow! Robert, you didn't waste any time polishing up that old beauty. I almost thought you reupholstered the whole thing. that doesn't even look like the same amp, way to go dude!

Thanks, Man...

I've done a lot of these kind of amp services for private clients....cosmetic mostly, but I've gotten good at fixing tears in the Tolex with Gorilla Clear Grip, a sheet of paper and an iron.
