Fender 1966 Princeton Reverb AA764 Black Panel Vintage Amp, Excellent

No sales tax for US customers outside California.

This Fender 1966 Princeton Reverb in black is in excellent condition.  The Princeton Reverb is just about the perfect vintage guitar amplifier.  It is right at home in your living room, the practice room, and it can gig too. 

This is the AA764 black panel version, 12 watts with onboard reverb and vibrato. The black tolex covering, pine cabinet, wheat sparkle grille cloth, baffle, chassis, knobs and handle are all listed as original, and the listing shows no cabinet, baffle or chassis repairs or changes. It measures W 20" x H 16" x D 9.5" and weighs 30 lbs.

Inside, the Jensen 10" speaker is original, with a recone, and it carries manufacturer code 220 and date code 602. The power, output and reverb transformers are original Schumacher units, and the reverb tank is original too. Tubes are a JJ GZ34 rectifier, JJ 2 x 6V6 power tubes, and Sylvania and Fender preamp tubes. The rectifier and power tubes are new, and the old-school, US made preamp tubes were tested to make sure they're good to go.  The filter cap can, bypass caps, bias cap and power cable have all been updated.

The vibrato footpedal is included, original, and in very good condition. 

The Princeton Reverb joined the regular Princeton in 1964 and added built-in reverb and vibrato to Fender's smallest amp. The blackface version ran until 1967 and put out 12 watts through a 10" speaker, with a pair of 6V6 power tubes. Leo Fender sold his companies to CBS in January 1965 for $13 million, so the later blackface years came out under CBS ownership. Princetons, the Reverb included, are particularly prized as recording amps. The Mesa Boogie Mark I was based on a hot-rodded Princeton. This one is dated 1966, inside that blackface run!
