PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: This listing is for a 1951 Fender Princeton 5B2 "TV Front" combo amplifier. A amazing sounding vintage combo amp similar to Fender Champ but with additional Tone control.

WORKING CONDITION: Excellent - This amp is in excellent working condition. Volume and Tone controls work nicely and the amp performs well. Owned and maintained for professional studio use. Just fully serviced by amp tech Ola Insulander in Stockholm, Sweden.

PHYSICAL CONDITION: Good - This amp is in good physical condition. Given its age, overall it is looking pretty clean! The tweed is torn in a few places and worn around the bottom of the amp, and it looks like the handle was swapped for a sturdier (but still kind of sketchy) leather strap. There are a few small tears in the grille cloth, and some of the amp labeling is worn. Lastly, the plastic center shaft of the 5Y3GT tube is broken off, however the tube still mounts securely and without issues. Overall this is in good physical condition considering age.
