Cool story...found this floating around the land. Took a chance. Got it..plugged in..oh yeah

The builder Union Jack is now Rola..in Seattle..he builds for Heart//Mike McCready (Pearl Jam) & others. I contacted him..yep..was one of his first early builds 2010,

I had my tech take down to frame & jtm50 Black Flag spec'd it. Its el34..SS/Tube rec..it really shows how the Plexi was going to evolve from in the next JMP 1987 circuit. Why i like this is the touch sensitively on tube rec & flip tp SS for punch & stand out leads.

Put it top the 1960bv cab today with jcm 800 Celestion GT75(65 like in a way & very early Celestion Vintage in X pattern..these do not ice pick..what a well balanced cab ==no weak link from bottom-mid-top end..no spike..no harsh..its a rock cab///palm mutes & leadsThe 45.jpg

Very nice, a big congrats. I really like early spec 4 hole 50 Watters. I have a DIY '68 spec that I once fitted with (switchable) tube rectifier/32uf main filter or solid state rectifier/64uf main filter. It (switchable rectifier/filter value) worked very well, but in the end I found it more convenient to use a "headmaster switcher" to footswitch between heads, so removed the SS rec/64uf filter option.
"Black Flagging" yours was a good choice, the '67 era amps sound fantastic. I'm currently just gearing up for a (NOS component) JTM50 black flag build. Enjoy that fine amp. Cheers
