Unit specifications

The 2060 is especially curious because it isn’t a conventional Marshall of 18/20/50 W:

* Model: Mercury 2060
* Actual power: approximately 5 W
* Speaker: 1 × 12”
* Power stage: 1 × EL84
* Preamp: transistorized/hybrid
* Tremolo: integrated
* Controls: Speed, Intensity, Tone and Volume
* Footswitch: dedicated input
* Manufacture: England
* Stock No.: 2060

The plate indicates 25 W, but that corresponds to the electrical consumption/power stated on the plate, it does not mean it delivers 25 W of guitar power. The Mercury 2060 is documented as an amplifier with about 5 W of output.

Very interesting unit from a collector’s perspective, in addition to its sonic and historical value:

* Original black tolex, very old.
* Front panel gold, very well preserved overall.
* Large, distinctive Marshall logo.
* Original era grille.
* Rear plate Type Mercury / Stock No. 2060.
* Cabinet with considerable wear, but precisely with a patina that may be interesting for a collector.
* Speaker visible from the back, original from the era.
