Help needed with 80s/90s Blackmore-style sound (Bounty)

Hi forum...I'm struggling a bit with this one. I'm trying to get in the ballpark of Blackmore's tone on the Slaves and Masters album and/or tour, for a particular project of mine. I should probably post what I have so far so I will edit this post when I get to my desktop.

I feel like I'm just missing a magic sauce (that's not just the fingers). I'm willing to put out a bounty ($20, $30 PayPal'd) if someone is able to get there with an amp/cab/necessary effects. How I imagine this working is if someone were interested, they'd post a SoundCloud sample and then I'd pay them, and they could post the preset below. (I hope this isn't against forum rules to put a bounty on a tone, I did just review them).

I've tried many combinations of Marshalls and Cabs, and even the Angle model (which is closest but I don't think he used that until '95, but historic accuracy doesn't mean f*** to me)

Anyone have ideas? There's something on this album that's just different than Perfect Strangers/Blue Light/Cattle Grazes On
 
A quote from woodytone

"On Bent Out of Shape, Perfect Strangers, and Slaves and Masters that he used a [Vox] AC30 slaved [fed] into a Majors that bypassed the pre-amp. You can see part of this in the Fire in the Basement video (it’s not one of his white stage Majors). This also coincides with what one of the Le Mobile guys said, that the Major’s knobs did not work – because the AC30 fed straight to the power amp on the Major."

Attempts to build the Marshall Major with what we have:
