Hello

[Tim Marlow]

Apparently Margaret Dumont didn’t know they were comedy films!!

I’ve heard that, but I simply don’t believe it :tongue-out3: They used to practice all those routines on stage before they filmed them…..being wallpapered to a wall three times a day in a theatre is a bit of a giveaway really….

[Sunburst Finish]

I had a 5 watt one that died after four years. The power transformer had a winding fault. Replacement cost more than the amp was worth, so I stripped the amp part out, got a Hughes and Kenner digital shoebox amp, and use that to drive the speaker. Sounds even better than the original….

Wouldnt buy Blackstar again to be honest, quality control seems suspect. I had issues with the big one when I bought it, and had a warranty repair done. I have just had another repair done by a good mate of mine (it stopped switching into the warm clean channel) and he found this was the so called warranty repair…..really poor work.

Apparently, yes. They always said the S1-45 was the amp that Marshal should’ve built….they seem to be going away from that these approach days.

And a warm welcome from me too, Dave.

Welcome Dave, nice to hear the BeBop Deluxe reference. Definitely a criminaly underated band. I saw them on the Sunburst Finish tour in Bournemouth Winter Gardens in ( i think) 1977. Brilliant
