Picked up a 100 watt JCM2000 DSL a few months ago. Haven't really played it too much until last night. After about 30 minutes, I noticed kind of a slight smell coming from the amp, not really electrical though - hard to describe. Anyways, I put my hand on top of the amp and the plastic vent over the power tubes was really hot to the touch. Unplugged it, took off the back and looked inside, couldn't see anything that looked abnormal. It's been a long time since I've had a Marshall head so I don't remember if this was normal or not.
