I've been wanting one of those to perform devious experiments upon.
Do you think you could send one over as a sample?
Best Regards,
PS could you make it with brown face plate, and cream cupcake knobs; appreciate the thoughtfulness.

$2,949.00 for a 12 watt tube amp with a single, 10" speaker???

No thanks...

TBTH, the Mesa Fillmore 50 Combo is over $1,000 less and is three times the amplifier.

The Princeton with 15 watts, 12" speaker is $1100.00 about.
But it's not hand wired, it might be hay wired.
I have seen some new ones that had various bugs but not difficult to correct.
The first one was a bad reverb tank cable connector.
The second one was tube socket not making contact with tube pin.
The third one was a goofy microphonic output tube.
But still
I wish you would make it with brown face plate and cream cupcake knobs, it looks way cooler.

I'm happy with the 1964 Princeton just cost a power transformer that was dead

Did you rewind the original or replace with a more modern one?

Sorry bout that.

Actually did own the amp. It's ok.

Very common problems.
