Freshly serviced and exceedingly clean cosmetically, this Princeton Reverb is an extremely early Pre-CBS example with 1964 date codes throughout and an A00-prefix serial number. The visual cues of this first-year Princeton Reverb include the no-logo grill, flat metal speaker jack, and Fender Elect. Instr. Co. text on the faceplate.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe perfect amplifier for small club gigs and studio sessions, this Princeton Reverb is loaded with the original Oxford 10L5 ceramic magnet driver. The AA764 Black Panel circuit delivers both well-balanced, sparkling cleans and smooth, harmonic-rich overdrive when dimed out. The Reverb is lush and the Tremolo has a nice pulse with a wide range of speeds.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe circuit is extremely original and professionally serviced to ensure optimal functionality (all replaced components included and pictured). The stock Schumacher-made transformers date to the 45th and 46th weeks of '64, and the preamp features all of the original blue molded Ajax tone caps, an essential part of the Black Panel sound. All of the original CTS and Stackpole pots are intact, with visible date codes from the 26th week of '64.

The reverb tank is a modern Accutronics tank, and the original is included, dating to the 43rd week of '64. A three-prong power cable rounds out the comprehensive servicing. The tubes include a pair of JJ 6V6 power tubes and a GZ34 rectifier, with Mullard and JJ-branded tubes in the preamp.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe speaker is the original Oxford 10L5, and the stamp on the edge of the frame dates to the 38th week of 1964.
