Well I have been waiting weeks for Marshall to give me a formal quote for the components for my 2203.
Half hearted (from several Marshall staff) email communications over several week resulted in a quote of £16.63 for (almost) all the bits and pieces I needed.
Quote from Marshall:
“The only problem that we have is that the 2pin plugs that you require are obsolete as they are not deemed as safe to use anymore.
If both of these are damaged or missing the only options that you have are to replace for this new switching type that I offered you originally (unfortunately this will mean increasing the hole size in the chassis)or to have the original ones hardwired to the voltage and impedance that you use by an engineer.”
Bah ! these are the impedance and voltage selector plugs I needed. Health and safetly gone mad !
I’m certainly not going to replace the switches for mordern replacements so I’ll stick with the hardwired mods I have made myself for now until I can source an alternative.
So for £16.63, I’ll get the stap handle with gold endcaps, the four M6 chassis bolts and cagenuts and the four bolts that hold the circuit board to the steel chassis.
