Differences between amp MKI and amp MKII for BM6A classic

In 2001 the BM6A and (BM15A) amps were redesigned to comply ROH standards. The new version of amp called MKII has the same technical performances as the original amp. However, due to physical changes on the amp board (longer capacitors) the cabinet amp slot was physically modified to fit the new amp increased depth. So to sum up, here are the differences: 

- MKII amp is deeper than MKI amp

- MKII amp can't fit in an original MKI amp cabinet

- MKII amp has a rotary voltage selector - The MKI has a square selector

- BM6A with MKII amps have a serial number < 694457 (however exceptions may occur) 

- BM6A Classic MKII amp will not work with a BM6A MKII
