'68 Princeton

[JumpMarine]

My buddy picked up a '68 Princeton non reverb last night for $150. It's in prime condition, all original minus the power transformer which is missing. There are no signs of anything that has been blown in the circuit, but that will all be checked properly. Question, should he search out an original PT or a replacement? Any suggestions on prefered dealers for either an original or a good replacement?

Call my brother Bruce at Mission Amps: 303-423-4103 or http://www.Missionamps.com

I doubt you'll find an original '68 Tranny but Bruce can get you an exact clone of your old tranny.

He put one of his clone power tranny's in my old blackface Deluxe Reverb and it sounds as good or better than it ever did.

He can go to mercury magnetics, but he'll probably end up doubling the cost of the amp so far.

Yep, unless he buys 500 of them at a time......

Re: '68 Princeton

You could do an original, a clone, or you could upgrade to an Deluxe Reverb PT and be able to run a 5AR4 and/or 6L6's...this is not a huge collector amp we are talking about, so original is nice but hardly going to pay for itself.

So sell the Moderne and buy a bunch of them.....some lunatic had an early A series one on Ebay the other day with a BIN price of $13,500:chairfall

THANKS CURLY!!!

Now I don't feel bad at all...I love Princeton Reverbs but plain Princetons just don't do it for me!

Re: '68 Princeton

goodness gracious .. a 68' princeton for $150
Even doubling the cost for the amp just for the transformer and stuffs is still worth it
