Fender Princeton Reverb AA-764 Tube Amplifier (1966)

Fender Princeton Reverb AA-764 Model Tube Amplifier (1966), made in Fullerton, California, serial # A-13651, black tolex covering finish.
This is one of the cleanest and most well-preserved examples we've ever had 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 was available 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 Just CBS-era amp; the tube chart reads the stamp PK, indicating assembly in November of 1965. The back panel logo reads "Fender Musical Instrument Company" generally considered the first mark of a CBS unit. The Tolex is very clean and virtually free of any tears or rips, except for some VERY minor wear and dirt. The grille cloth is taut and in great shape with no notable punctures or signs of fraying. The plastic Fender logo is still present and the chassis straps and handle hardware are virtually free of any notable corrosive staining. The front control panel is nice and clean overall with all the original knobs present and intact.
Internally this amp is nicely original. The original 10" ceramic Jensen C10R speaker bears the code 220-616, dating it to the 16th week of 1966. It has been professionally reconed and both sounds and tests fantastic. The power, output and reverb transformers are all original and marked 606-614, 606-618 and 606-617, dating them to the 14th, 18th and 17th weeks of 1966, respectively. Visible pot codes all date to '66 as well. 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, a lovely example of our single most in-demand amplifier in fine gigging and/or recording condition. Excellent - Condition.
