Vintage Tube Amp

I picked this amp head up from the family of the guy that was the backup sax player for Clarence Clemens in Springsteens band in the 80s or 90s. Really thats what they told me. So this head looks good. The pics on the tube sticker say AA864 and the other stamp says OC. It sure looks like an O. If its not an o then it sure aint a Q. So anyways I have seen conflicting data on dating and it appears this is a 64 or 65. So the OC means March of 64 and I guess the AA864 means 65. I plugged it in and turned it on and nothin. Then I checked and there was no fuse so I put a 2 or a 4 amp buss fuse in and it came on and lasted about 30 seconds then the fuse blew. So there you have it. Please look close at the pics, they are part of the description. The numbers on it are 125A13A and 606502.

Up for sale, a 1964 Fender Princeton in exceptional condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original footswitch. This rare, transitional “tuxedo” Princeton features the Brownface 6G2 circuit with Blackface cosmetics, a pairing that only lasted a few short months. The Princeton has a tone that is very dynamic and warm, with crystalline clean tones giving way to rich, saturated overdrive as you turn up the Volume knob. The circuit is as pure and straightforward as they come, and the single Tone knob has a surprisingly wide range. The bias based tremolo circuit has a strong, dimensional pulse and particularly broad range of speeds too. The circuit retains the original pair of Schumacher transformers which date to the very first weeks of’64, and the chassis stamp dates to 1964 as well. The preamp retains a few of the original blue molded Ajax tone caps as well as a host of properly-spec’d modern tubular caps. All of the original CTS pots are intact, with visible date codes form the 39th week of’63. The tube compliment includes a matched pair of Tung Sol 6V6s, with a pair of Tung Sols in the preamp as well, along with a vintage RCA rectifier. The tube chart is fully intact inside the cabinet, and the “NC” date code that translates to March of’64. The speaker is an era-correct Jensen C10R dating to the 20th week of 1964, freshly reconed and very sweet sounding. The original smooth black tolex is extremely clean with only a few minor scuffs and light edge wear, while the baffle itself has been upgraded with a solid piece of pine and aged silver sparkle grillcloth, work which appears to have been done by the late, great Larry Rodgers. All the stock hardware is present including chassis straps, sphinx glides, handle caps, and a set of original white barrel knobs. The original footswitch is included.
