This ‘69 Princeton Reverb was at an independent music store. Didn’t break the bank. It looks as if it was just set aside for years. Really dusty. Had a replacement speaker, which I’ve replaced. It was all original except the power cord, speaker and 2 tubes. 5 of 7 tubes were original RCAs with ‘67 & ‘68 date codes. Has all nos RCAs in it now. I sent the chassis off and had it serviced. Cleaned all the dust bunnies out of the cabinet & cleaned the tolex. Just finished reassembling it and am getting acquainted with it. I had briefly posted pics of it in the “ask the experts” when I was looking for a tech. Apologies if you’ve seen it before. But this time it’s functional. Sorry for the crummy phone pics. Any love for the PR?

Ah, the noble Fender Princeton Reverb (-AMP!)

It’s like a broken drum ……   YOU CAN’T BEAT IT!

Seriously, at one point in time I had a ‘74 Deluxe Reverb (purchased NEW!) and my original early ‘65 no logo PR.

Both are Fender perfection as far as what they can do. Still have the PR.

Great score!  I've got a '71 PR that is now housed in a larger cabinet sporting a 12" ceramic Tone Tubby speaker.  Glorious tones!  There's a reason it is one of the most recorded amps in history.

Nice!  Cool score!

I had Marsh build me a blackface Princeton clone a couple years ago. Sounds amazing and I put that same speaker in mine.

I've never had one of those, but I'm certain I would be happy with one.

Though I've never owned one, thinking back, I've never heard a negative comment. 

Closest I've ever gotten was a splendid Mesa Subway Blues - at least in spec, a very close analog (EL84s though).

So nice

Great score! You can almost hear the chime.

Congrats!

Never played one, but I am sure it's great! Looks beautiful too. I have an early 80s Fender Super Champ that does the Princeton thing very well. Love it.

Like Tim said, you can almost hear the 'chime'.
