Much better than a wall of Twin Reverbs. A fellow I know is said to hsve some real oddball Laney or Selmer combo from the 60's. I need to find out what it is exactly.

Here it is! Not mint, but original and it works.

I'm guessing by the instruction copyright it's a 1974

I can fix this thing.

My guess was close. May I have some free forum points?

Look at the tube chart on the inside right panel. Serial number should be there.

Or... check the codes on the transformers. Google it with the word "Transformer", and it should lead you to more info. Or post the codes here.

Look at the tube chart on the inside right panel. Serial number should be there.

...and how do i determine date by that?

1980? CBS era.

Would make it 38 years young...

Superior Music - Fender Amp, Amplifier Serial Numbers

Never mind...what’s the rest of that A-323....number? That puts it 1974...

 

[Sp8ctre]

A 32372

 

[Thatbastarddon]

So 1974 it is!....apparently.

Who actually owned / used it?
Regardless of it's history after sitting for all of those years and you buying the estate it's yours now, BUT, still the history may be interesting.

Nice amp find, congrats. A good amp to fix up and keep to use.

Here is what I know. My uncle, who inspired me to play guitar, was in a band in the 60's and 70's. The band was named "Our Gang" and they played a lot of
bars and clubs in Ohio. They actually cut one album. My uncle was lead guitarist. He played a Gretsch first in the very early 60's and then a Les Paul Custom.
His main amp was a huge Kustom with the vinyl tuck and roll and this Princeton was his practice amp and also used for small gigs.

When he quit playing he stored everything at my Grandma's (his Mom). This is unfortunately the only item that was not sold off...
