Marshall JCM800 Restoration Project!

I recently took on a first time project of restoring my 1980's Marshall JCM800 50 Watt Combo Amp. While taking on this first time amp restoration I documented the process I went through to transform my first and only Marshall I have ever owned into the Purple beauty she is today! If you are considering restoring an old amp, especially a JCM800, I hope you will find this video very informational. Thanks for watching!
