This might be a dumb question.....
So there's a dead JCM 2000 near me for dirt cheap, $100, with a fried board, but good iron and tubes. Is it at all feasible/possible to use those parts for a plexi build?? Like, order a pre-populated plexi turret board, or Jcm 800 maybe, and wire it to those parts?

You're buying a story there. I'd assume you're buying a head shell at that price and not much more.
"Should be ok" on transformers and tubes....isn't much of a guarantee.

That's fair. Better hold off.

even if those parts did turn out to be good, those transformers just aren't on the level of the old marshall transformers at all. if you want to do a plexi build, use something nice from mercury or something. don't go to all that trouble to build an amp and use that stuff. but yeah, i wouldn't trust "should be good" stuff from a fried amp to actually be good.
