1984 Marshall JCM 800 Lead Series

2203 Horizontal Input 100-Watt Master Volume

In excellent condition with light wear and tear from 42 years of use.

This amp has just been fully serviced in July 2026. All filter and bias capacitors have been replaced and brand new JJ preamp and power tubes. It has been converted to EL34 power tubes from the original 6550's, to be as the amp was intended. The tubes have been biased for just under 70% at 36mA with 451V plate voltage.

It has the following new components and service:

-Power Tubes: Apex matched & burned in quad of JJ EL34's

-Preamp Tubes: Apex tested JJ ECC83S x 3

-Filter Capacitors: 50/50 F&T x5

-Filter Capacitors: 10uf 150v Sprague Atom x2

-1amp & 4amp slow blow fuses

-Resistors for EL34 Conversions: 220k, 27k

-1M resistors, previous work had inferior resistors

-Grid stop resistors: 5.6k

-New top vent

-8ft 3 prong power cord

-Tube sockets cleaned re-tensioned

-All pots cleaned and lubricated

-General chassis and PCB clean up


Other than this routine maintenance of consumable parts the amp is in it's original condition and sounds phenomenal as it should. It has all of the original pointer knobs.

There's a small splice in the tolex on the top of the head on the right side of the handle, which you can see in the photos. Please review all photos closely to see exact physical condition.

It comes with a very lightly used Odyssey padded road case.

For shipment: I will further pad the amp inside of case for shipment and then place the case in a double wall cardboard and hard foam board reinforcement. Ships fully insured.

I will send you a video of the amp prior to shipment as well as images of the shipment packaging.

Let me know if you have any questions.
