Question:
Marshall 260 leaks. It says vertical but its mounted horizontal. I see your replacement regulator. What is going on?
asked by: David B
Expert Reply:
In order for a vertical and horizontal regulator to "breathe" and function properly, the vent opening must be pointed down. The writing on your Marshall 260 warns you about this at the bottom of of the etching. If your regulator is mounted horizontally and the vent is mounted vertically, you have a horizontal regulator.
On a horizontal regulator like the # 108221, that vent will be vertically pointing down. This is explained at timestamp :34 of the attached video. For a replacement horizontal 2-stage regulator like the vertical version # CAM59313 you looked at, the # 108221 is the replacement you need.
