Marshall Experts, need help

[siggy14]

THE TALE OF TWO 2204 AMPS.

SO i am trying to clear stuff out, which i am doing, but this came along and i bought it, i spent all day driving to NY and back to pick this up, i spent about 75 dollars and wasted 8 hours of my time, i ordered new knobs for it, so i think for $850 Total for head and cab i did pretty good even though it is beat.

Anyway here is my problem, I have the 2204 with 6550's that i purchased at the beginning of the month and it has a direct out, where the one i just purchased does not. The serial numbers are wacky too, so please give me as much infor as you can.

2204 with 6550's and direct out S/N S04982
2204 with EL34's no direct out S/N 09362P

So what can you tell me about these amps, i found a thing on marshall coding but it doesnt make sense on the one with 6550's.

The S is a 1984 and the P is a 1982. Both amp came with 6550's if they were sold mew in the USA. The early JCM800's didn't have the direct out.

So the 84's had the DI but not the 82's, kinda odd didnt realize they did a change on the amps. Thanks for the info.
