I decided to go for broke and buy it while it was for sale. I just bought a 1970 Marshall Major head for $2345.00 off epay. I always liked Blackmores geetar tone. Blackmores majors had a gain stage added. There are 2 more Majors on epaythemrealgood for $3295.00 + $299.00 shipping from Europe and another for $5500.00 + $165.00 shipping from Sandy Eggo Ca. I would never eat a sandy Eggo. I will be sleeping in a cardboard box soon. So much for saving for Firestone retirement.

Nice amp with a ton of power. Do you use/need that much power?

You can find the original type tube retainers and vent screen on line. My advice is that you buy them and put them on before use.

I bought it for my collection and home use for the tone it produces. I always liked the sound of the major.

Back in the early 80s, a friend of mine drove 3 hours and bought a Major for $100.

He said they would have given it to him, if he would have stayed and gotten stoned and jammed with them.  He was not into drugs, so paid the money and left.

I wonder if he still has it.

A lot of Tascam and Otari professional reel to reels were given away and taken to the trash bin when digital took over. Some of those reel to reel are fetching upwards of  $1000.00+. A friend is collecting the old Sears Silvertone tube amps made by Dan Electro.

I've got an old Silvertone amp with 2x12" cabinet-all original.

I need to clean it up and see if anything is wrong and sell it.

It is just sitting around downstairs

I think we need a subdivision of GAS called OGAS.  I think they have pills for that.

This is my first major. What do the original tube retainers look like ?
