Fender Princeton Reverb AA-764 Model Tube Amplifier (1967), made in Fullerton, California, serial # A-17767, black tolex covering finish.
Overall this is a very well preserved example of one of the hottest amps going today, vintage or modern, the black-panel Fender Princeton Reverb. The combination of clean, crunch and natural overdrive this model offers perfectly suits the modern world's lower volume requirements, and they always sound great in any context. The mid-60s Princeton came as a Reverb and non-Reverb model, both featuring a single-channel layout with two instrument inputs. A dual 6V6-power section into a 10" speaker puts out around 10-12 watts of power. The Reverb-equipped model offers earlier clipping and more overall preamp saturation, due to the additional circuitry of the onboard effect. These are truly excellent gigging amplifiers and work perfectly as a stand-alone amp, as well as a pedal platform for the modern stylist.
Height is 16 in. (40.6 cm.), 20 in. (50.8 cm.) width, and 9 1/4 in. (23.5 cm.) deep.
This is a nicely original early CBS-era amp; the tube chart reads the stamp QF, indicating assembly in June, 1967 just as the Summer of Love began. The back panel logo still reads "Fender Electric Instrument company" generally considered the mark of a Pre-CBS unit. The Tolex is very clean and virtually free of any tears or rips, except for minor scuffing on the lower corners and edges. The grille cloth is taut and in fairly good shape; it has a darker, somewhat "smoked" appearance, but no visible tears or rips, and retaining the plastic Fender logo. The chassis straps and handle hardware are only showing VERY minor signs of corrosion. The front control panel is mostly free of wear and all the stenciled lettering is intact. The original two-button reverb and vibrato footswitch is unfortunately no longer present.
Internally this amp is nicely original, including the speaker, which is the original Jensen C10R, marked 220-618, dating it to the 18th week of 1966. The power, output and reverb transformers are all original and marked 831-6718, 831-6720, 606-715, dating them to the 18th, 20th and 15th weeks of 1967, respectively. The amp has seen our typical servicing and maintenance, including replacement of all electrolytic capacitors, install of a 3-prong grounded power cord, cleaning of all sockets, pots and jacks and biased to spec.
This is a great sounding and growly Princeton Reverb; this is a lovely example of our single most in-demand amplifier in fine gigging and/or recording condition. Excellent Condition.
