WTB Fender Princeton Reverb

Post by Ralf Wagner »

Looking for a Blackface or Silverface Princeton Reverb. I will be in the US in August, so you can send it to an US address.

Would you be interested in a new amplifier made to the blackface specs of the AA1164?

The amp looks great. How much are you asking for it? Did you build it yourself?

Yes I built it. I didn't build the cabinet but assembled everything. I built this one for a customer in Georgia. It worked fine when it left here but he says it's making a rattling sound now. I sent a return shipping tag and it's due back here today. My normal policy is to guarantee a good amp and will do any future repairs needed other than tubes or speakers or will pay for repairs to international customers for 2 years. I don't offer money back on custom builds but this guy wants his money back.

I was planning on fixing whatever is wrong with the amp and sending it back to him with explanation that I don't offer money back. He wants $1213 back (amp + shipping to GA + L-pad attenuator installed in rear). The speaker plugs into a J-box w/attenuator in back that has wire to amp, or it can plug direct to the amp. I can remove the attenuator box and sell the amp with no attenuator for $1150. Shipping with my FedEx account to Seattle is about $20. Speaker is a Celestion G10 Vintage per customer request.

I can put in a 230v transformer if you'd like for an extra $60.

We discussed the one I have for sale here, but he's looking for an original. Mine has been modified.

MSA Millennium, Legend, and Studio Pro, Reese's restored Universal Direction guitar, as well as some older MSAs, several amps, new and old, and a Kemper Powerhead that I am really liking. Recently added a Zum D10, a Mullen RP, and a restored blue Rose, named the "Blue Bird" to the herd. Also, I have acquired and restored the plexiglass D10 MSA Classic again that was built as a demo in the early '70s. I also added a '74 lacquer P/P, with wood necks.

I would just keep checking that craigslist link that I posted earlier. There's a Princeton Reverb in San Jose, CA right now, for example.

Thanks for all the help and offers. I even got an offer for a very nice '69 PR but the seller decided to keep it in the end. There were some nice ones on ebay too, but I did not get them. Maybe I will have to buy a reissue when I am back in Europe again.
