Fender Tweed Princeton 5F2 1956 - Clean, 100% Original and it Works Great!, Excellent

No sales tax for US customers outside California.

This 1956 Princeton is 100% original, and it sounds fantastic!

When amps like this come in, I always bring them up slowly on a variac. If everything warms up correctly and the caps aren't super leaky, I give it the ear test. This amp passed both checks. We then cleaned all the tubes, pots, and jacks to make sure it is good to go.

Literally everything on the amp is original, and it is really clean too. If you'd rather have the electrolytic caps update and a grounded power cable added, I can do so for an additional $100. I do recommend having the work done if you plan to rely on the amp for regular use, but I am leaving it as-is for now as it is a prime example.

You'll notice that one back panel looks a little different. It is wrapped with slightly older, original Fender tweed. I've seen amps like this, and in fact I just got a mid 50s Champ that has this same type of tweed on one side, and it is plainly all-original.
