About this listing
This came to me first from a time capsule. 1966 November. And it was a never used amp; before me. I have used it only in a home recording sessions occasionally. It is in mint condition. Ready for studio players and musicians. Professionally converted to European voltage with NO chassis modifications. Original 110V US Power Transformer is included in the sale and can be re-installed seamlessly. The necessary capacitor work has already been done. (leaked capacitors). It is fully serviced, safe, and ready to play.Non-reverb Princetons have more clean headroom, punch, and a purer tone than the reverb models—studio engineers love them for this. And it is a brilliant pedal platform This blackface circuit AA964 was used in 1964 -1967 More info:1. The Tube Chart Number 047037, production code P K 95 (The Date Code): November 1966.
