Members scottdcoi Posted May 19, 2010 Members Share Posted May 19, 2010 Well I got it for $500 and a poweramp that I got for $100. Anyone want to decode these speakers for me? He said they were all original, dude got it from the original owner. Whatever. Here are the pics. The cast reads "T1221" the two on the left read "kf 23" and the 2 on the right read kf 25 on all of the speakers. Any help is appreciated!!!

Members scottdcoi Posted May 19, 2010 Author Members Share Posted May 19, 2010 Its been through some sort of hell. I'm going to rewire the speakers, make a new back panel, clean the chassis and sand and stain all the wood. New handle for the head as well.

Members Cirrus Posted May 19, 2010 Members Share Posted May 19, 2010 Man, my guitarist mate had one of those in the first band we were in together. Absolutely beautiful amp, taught me that some Marshalls are good for more than just distortion - fantastic clean tones with just a hint of grit to them. He did a lot of restorting too. I think you're in for a treat. :love: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members charveldan Posted May 19, 2010 Members Share Posted May 19, 2010 OK, "K" is 1978', you can see 78' on your tag mounted on the chassis, so your JMP 2203 is a 1978' i have two of these, awesome amps. If your cab has plastic handles, the speakers may be "Blackbacks, minus the plastic black covers, if your cab handles are metal, they're probably Greenbacks, again minus the covers, prolly G12M 25 watt Rola Celestions, absoutly awesome speakers, nice score. ALL HAIL THE MARSHALL FROM HELL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members scottdcoi Posted May 19, 2010 Author Members Share Posted May 19, 2010 They're plastic handles. The magnet covers have been removed, so they could be black, green or whatever other color they made them. I believe you're right about the '78, I did see that on the tag... Must've misread a date chart. Gonna get some turpentine today for the old spraypayint, and some heavy guage speaker wire for the cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The covers fall off, but you don't need them, just make sure the little vent in the center of the magnet can breath, you can always get another headshell, the main thing is that the amp is in good working order, you might want to change filter caps & bias filters.
