BadgerDave Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 '62 Fender Princeton Excellent condition, clean inside and out. Sounds bright, strong and surprisingly loud. 10" Jensen reissue installed. Original Fender branded speaker (Oxford, I believe) included. The original speaker has two repairable tears at the outside edge of the cone, but is not blown. Everything works perfectly, including the tremolo circuit, which sounds killer! Good clean headroom and nice grit above 4 on the volume knob. Does "edge of breakup" blues as well as any amp I've owned. Serviced by "Ray" in 1990. Looks like he replaced the filter caps. I welcome any comments from the experts on the "innards". They look pristine to me. New Tuki cover included. New JJ tubes. Not many of these available, but there have been three recent sales on ebay for between $1,275 and $1,500. I think mine is cleaner than any of those $1,200 shipped within the US. I can ship to Canada or Europe for actual cost.

BlueRedWhite Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 How do I convince anyone that this would be a great Christmas present for me? I love that. Bring her to the screen and tell her: "sweetie, look what a nice amp, it matches perfectly my guitar's color!!!" Beautiful amp no doubt, and a classic
Jakeboy Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 I have a brown deluxe clone that more Marshall than most Marshall's.....these price tons bring lots of snarl too when cranked???a big plus one on the bias-modulated trem too.
HAMERMAN Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 Wow that is one clean amp, especially inside the chassis. I wonder of Ray put some time into cleaning up excess flux since there looks to be very little.
BadgerDave Posted November 26, 2013 Author Posted November 26, 2013 A few more photos showing the transformer codes, reproduction leather handle and attachment brackets, and original speaker.
crunchee Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 How do I convince anyone that this would be a great Christmas present for me? I love that. It'd be a great companion for your Brown Vibrolux! Oh, wait...
tonemonster58 Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 If this had reverb you'd be counting your money right now and I'd be hiding from my wife.... I'm an incurable spring verb junkie.
Jakeboy Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 +1 on the amp not needing verb.....but the trem is too die for on the Browns.....bias-modulated goodness.
BadgerDave Posted November 27, 2013 Author Posted November 27, 2013 Now listed on ebay - free shipping to US HFCers, discount on shipping elsewhere.
rugby1970 Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 Great amp. I just cannot afford it. If my two Hamers sold that would be a different matter entirely. GLWTS.
Dasein Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 Bloody hell --- I've got a MKIIC+ and the boogie story started out with RS modifying Fender Princetons ---- that's part of its heritage and the lore of boogie, but I've never looked inside a Princeton before --- and wow --- it's like looking at a cousin ---- totally see how the Boogie evolved from these. If I didn't have everything I own dumped into our business right now I would absolutely adore this. Fantastic piece.
