FS: 18w handwired marshall combo copy

So, I got this from a guy on eBay a few years back. I remember thinking it was a 50w (2xel34), but it turns out it's much less powerful than that (2x6v6).

That puts it at 20w rms max, more likely 15-18. Because of the popularity of 18w marshalls, I'm going to say it's either a copy of the 1974x TMB circuit or an 18w TMB plexi circuit (which is how it was advertised). It sounds closer to the plexi demos I've found online FWIW. Very clear neutral sound, not a huge mid hump or anything.

2x 6v6 power amp tubes (JJ)
3x 12ax7 preamp tubes (also JJ) - there's one spot that's marked "unused" and has a JJ 12ax7 in it as well.

All caps are sprague, sozo, and mallory. It's got a choke in addition to unbranded PT/OT, but it's a great sounding amp regardless.

Comes with your choice of a V30, Mojotone BV-25M (1970s greenback copy), or Scumback h55 (G12H30 copy).

Looking for $600 + shipping, $625 with the scumback.

If you're interested in the amp we can negotiate shipping.

This is a great price for a well built 18w marshall clone. Turret board construction (read: reliable, easier to work on than point-to-point) and gives you that classic marshall tube sound for a fraction of what you'd pay for essentially the same thing with a name plate (which this also has by the way).
