I see this amp as an replacement for my Vintage Modern which I am going to sell if I get this JCM. Maybe mod it with #34 mod.
What do you guys think about it? What shoud I check when I'll take a look at this amp by myself?

I never noticed that when looking at the pictures, but I think they stopped making the vertical input 800's around 84-85 (don't quote me on that) so I'm wondering what exactly that is. But there were exceptions depending on where you bought it. For example I live in Canada and all 800's produced for Canada have steel switches (not plastic) and vertical inputs. If it's a newer 800 it should technically have the horizontal inputs, but again who knows.Mats A wrote:If you like the 2203 go for it. Try the amp and see if find any problems with it. If possible maybe take out the chassi and see if it looks OK. If you use a booster/overdriver or an attenuator the 2203 is just as versatile as the VM. In my opinion it has more punch in the tone than the VM. Being made in 1991 it must be one of the last originals before the Reissues. Thought they stopped making the original JCM 800´s in 1990. If it´s the amp on the picture you talk about i wonder if it´s not a Reissue. Shouldn´t it have vertical inputs otherwise? The early 80´s 2203/2204 JCM 800´s had the inputs like on the picture. One thing is that you have no effects loop on the original 2203 if you use such.
