Vintage Tube Amp

Up for sale, a 1965 Fender Princeton in excellent condition and in perfect working order. Clean, complete, and original, this vintage Blackface Fender was produced very early in 1965, with most components dating to the first weeks of that year, firmly placing this Princeton at the tail end of the “Pre-CBS” era. Unlike its brother the Princeton Reverb, this non-reverb Princeton has much more clean headroom, as the lack of the reverb effect introduces less gain into the circuit, allowing the amp to be clearer and punchier, with a sound that has sparkle and chime indicative of the Blackface line and perfect for recording situations. The controls are simple and intuitive, and the bias based tremolo circuit has a nice even pulse with a wide range of available speeds. The circuit is 100% original, with stock transformers and the famed blue molded Ajax tone caps in the preamp that are instrumental in creating the sweet, musical character of Fender’s Blackface amps. The chassis stamp dates to’65, and the visible date codes on the stock Stackpole pots are from the 2nd week of that year as well. The tubes are all vintage and sound great, with a pair of Peavey branded 6V6 power tubes, an RCA rectifier, and Hungarian 12AX7s in the preamp. The original transformers were manufactured by Schumacher (606 prefix on the date codes), with an output transformer that dates to the 2nd week of 1965, and a power transformer that dates to the 8th week of the same year. The tube chart is mostly intact, with an “OH” date stamp that translates to August of’65. Typically the tube chart date is the latest on any Fender, which is true in this instance as well. The speaker is the original Jensen C10Q with the stock wiring harness with the Fender “F” on the 1/4 plug. The hardware on the amp is completely original and the faceplate is clean, with four stock witch hat knobs. The stock black tolex and silver sparkle grill are present, with moderate aging of the grillcloth and one notable spot of wear on the right top edge. This amp has clearly been well cared for since new, and delivers a sound worthy of the Blackface name!

SELMER ZODIAC TREMOLO 50 MKII. A mid-60s 50W Selmer plexi panel amp just back from a service with our amp tech. It is in excellent working order and sounding superb. The cosmetic condition is good overall for the age and the grille cloth is intact, but it has some wear and tear including cracks in the plexi, mainly towards the logo side of the face. The handles and casing have noticeable scuffs and wear including areas where the bare wood is showing. Since the speaker cable from the amp is very short, we are unable to take shots of the internal electronics without de-soldering the speakers. Please get in contact if you require internal shots.
