Yes hi everyone, sorry I took so long with my reply. Well anyway I have the serial number for the DSL50, it is M-2002-23-0386-B. I actually did some research on marshall serial numbers and found out that all marshall serials after I believe 1997 actually start with the year the amp was made. So am I correct in assuming that my DSL 50 was made in 2002. As for the DSL 100, there is no sticker, it looks like it was torn off at some point. Is there any other way to tell it's age? And also I now have another problem, the DSL 100 does not power on. As I said I bought it from a guy on ebay who inherited it from an uncle that used to play. I asked him if he knew the last time the amp was powered up and actually used and he doesn't have any idea when it was. But anyway getting back to the amp, when I first plugged in the mains cord and powered it up it did go on but then after a few seconds it went off. I tried a couple of different mains cords and nothing. It doesn't want to power up. So can anybody tell me what is going on with it? Can it be the fuse or something more major, please anybody help!!!
LOL Thanks guys.
