Fender Princeton AA964 Black Panel Pre CBS Vintage Amp, Serviced, Excellent 1964 - Black
This Fender 1964 Princeton AA964 in black is in excellent condition. It isn't just a looker, it is a solid, serviced amp that sounds killer.
This black panel, pre-CBS Princeton is a 12-watt amp with onboard vibrato. It has been serviced with a full cap job and a new power cable, and the tolex, cabinet, silver sparkle grille, chassis, knobs, handle and potentiometers are all original and in excellent condition.
The power and output transformers are original Schumacher units with date codes consistent with 1964. The 10" Jensen speaker is a reproduction, not original. A new reproduction footswitch is included. Tubes are RCA 6V6 power tubes and 12AX7 preamp tubes with an Amperex 5AR4 rectifier. These vintage tubes are a huge value add that have the potential to last a lifetime, and they definitely contribute to the tone of this fine amp. We tested them all to make sure they perform for you.
Pots, jacks, and tube sockets were all cleaned before listing during our pre-listing bench check. Buy another amp that hasn't been vetted and serviced like this one and you're in for a couple hundred or three dollars worth of tech time.
