Curcuit board on JCM 2000 DSL

Is the curcuit board on the JCM 2000 DSL´s through plated?

I can't really find much info on this. On musicradar.com they indicate that the new DSL range's boards ARE through plated, but I can't find anything about the older ones. I would assume that if the new Made in Vietnam amps are through plated then the older Made in England amps are as well.

And anything through plated is a BITCH to desolder, IME. It's very tricky cause both sides have to be hot enough for the solder to let go, but applying enough heat to do this can lift the trace on the opposite side. Good luck if youre doing any soldering.
