I'd love to get a JTM-100. A quality clone will do.

I'll be ........... The transformers for the Major are available. One could build their own.

The marshal majors were discontinued due to a lack of available KT88's. Kt88s are back in production these days so there's nothing stopping one of these being made.

That's not going to stop making one. It might limit where one might use it.

That's when you use transmitting valves.

Quote:The pair may be run in push-pull to deliver 600 Watts of power with a couple of thousand volts applied to their anodes.
These examples have 26.5 volt filaments.
