Hi, guys
I have e DSL40C that has a lot of issues and a not good sound.
I would like to ask you guys if is it possible to replace marshall PCB for a one channel el34 base amp board, to work with marshall cabinet, transformers, pots, tubes and etc?
If yes, witch sellers do you recommend me to buy this kit/components?
It's a bad idea?
Cheers!!!

The DSL40 has 2 channels and you would like to replace the whole circuit with a single channel board.
I doubt it's possible.
1- To find a board
2- to fit the board in the amp.
I could be wrong.
Can't the current circuit be repaired? That is the best option

Yes, it's possible. Hoffman sells the board and parts for a Plexi 50 (https://el34world.com/Hoffman/files/Hoffman_Plexi50.pdf). This is not a paint-by-numbers kit, and the linked drawings are the only instructions. Requires electronic knowledge and basic fabrication skills, tool, etc. Are you up to the task?

A DSL40 working board $180 CND

Use the chassis and transformers to build something else. It'll be fun! And way more durable than a DSL 👍
