This Marlboro Sound-Works solid state combo amplifier seems to be made in cooperation with Hohner International; German
company (best known for their harmonicas and accordions) which still makes musical instruments nowadays. I don't know how Marlboro and Hohner were connected, but there seem to be quite a few of these out there. The Marlboro badge is different from the classic one and there is also a ''Hohner International'' badge at the bottom of the cabinet. But the writing on the back sticker, the speaker and front control plate says ''Made in U.S.A.''.
I would like to thank Thomas, who sent me these lovely pictures.
They are clickable so the amplifier can be seen in full detail!
Specifications:
- Model no. G-40R
- 3 Inputs: bright, normal, mellow
- Controls: volume, bass, treble, reverb and tremolo
- 240 volts, 50 Hz
- input watts: 37 W
- 12'' Marlboro special design M12Q speaker
- Made in U.S.A.
Hi. Could any good soul help me out. I have a Marlboro G40R amp but gives out no sound. I took it to a repair shop but without the schematic diagram the repair is very difficult. I am unable to locate the producer to request schematic diagram.
ReplyDeleteI have a working one here in Germany
DeleteSame here, 1500B and no sound. Most of all i'd like to have a photograhp of the print. I have the schematics, but i think someone has taken away some "extra components"... please email photos or any help to contactalley(at)yahoo.com ... thank You!
ReplyDeleteI have got a Marlboro-40R, but the fusebutton is missing, as well as the fuse itself. Who caould help me to solve this.
ReplyDeleteHi there! You could try to replace the fuse cover button with this vintage style one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NOS-Vintage-Made-in-Japan-Fuse-Holder-Bayonet-style-for-tube-amplifier-/122342281002?hash=item1c7c2b0f2a:g:fe0AAOSwjDZYbtL0
DeleteIt looks similar but it's not 100% sure. For the fuse, it should be a 250vac,2.5A, 6.3x32mm quick blow type
How much is it for sale?
ReplyDeleteWhat does the FUSE button do? Mine rotates very slowly and I can't notice the difference in sound.
ReplyDeleteIt's not a button. There should be a fuse inside if you remove the cover.
DeleteCan anyone here help? I am looking for a schematic of Hohner 210 R made by Marlboro. Even any similar amps? 3 input Guitar/Bass/Organ with "Quadra" Effect. Greatly appreciated
ReplyDeleteI just bought a Hohner 12R
ReplyDeletethe speaker is the same as the amp shown above, as is the inputs and control layout, many of the components inside the amp are branded marlboro
