I finally got a digital camera and was finally able to take pics of my rare made for Canada JCM 800 2210 (from '87) with matching made for Canada 8 ohm 4x12 JCM 800 lead 1960 cab (with 8 ohm G12T-75 speakers)..The speakers are date coded Nov. 11th 1985.
The overall tone on the boost channel with gain at full tilt is very similar to Metallica's "Ride the Lightning" album without any pedal. She's quite loud and monstrous to say the least!!
I know a lot of people are unaware of the differences of the Canadian models, so here are a few basic differences (all due to strict Canadian Electrical Standards):
Point to point pot and input wiring, metal toggle switches on the 2203 and 2204 (like earlier JMP's) and one metal toggle/one rocker for the stanby on the 2205/2210 models, EL34s as stock tubes instead of the US's 6550s, 2 extra fuses compared to US or UK models, and no 16 ohm tap. These are rare, I read that US models outnumbered canadians by 10 to 1. All cabs made for Canadian export were 8 ohms instead of the standard 16 ohms for US & UK.
Here are a bunch of pics from all angles, note the differences on the front and back:
