This is one the 20w variations Marshall made in the early 70's - the especially rare 2061 Lead & Bass amp. Other than a stamp on the bottom of the chassis, and a slightly lower gain left channel compared to the right (for bass, possibly?), it's probably very similar to the other 3 (PA, Bass, Lead).
While this does have a Repro Cab from Mather Cabinets, the amp itself is all original - please see pictures for further details. Something to note is that similarly to the original cabinets, you might experience a bit of cabinet rattle. This is normal with all high wattage combos, unless they are very well designed. Thankfully you won't pick up any of that sound in front of the speakers, where it matters most for mic placement.
The speakers are G10L-35 10" speakers from 1986, which aren't period correct but sound excellent. We have 2 other Marshall 4x10 cabinets in house, and are very familiar with the sound. Overall this amp looks and sounds great!
