ELECTRIC TUBE AMPLIFIERS: 100W SERIES (1966-1981)

The 100 Series project was launched in 1965. These amps had a lot more power than the 50W models and there was not anything out there at the time that could match it. The 100 Watt amplifiers were designed because of the demands for more power, but more importantly, Pete Townshend wanted them. These amps made their way onto the market in 1966 and were discontinued in 1981 with the introduction of the JCM-800 series. In 1969, the Plexiglas panel were changed to gold aluminum. It should be noted that in the price lines, 1969 refers to models having Plexi panels and 1970 for the aluminum, even though an aluminum amp may have been produced in 1969.

Add 25-50% for covering colors other than black.
