Revered for its articulate cleans, harmonically rich breakup, and lush, dimensional reverb, the Princeton Reverb remains one of the most musically useful amplifiers Fender ever produced. Early 1964 examples—such as this one—are especially desirable, with period-correct details including the \u003cstrong\u003eabsence of a Fender badge on the grille cloth\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular amp presents in \u003cstrong\u003eexcellent cosmetic condition with below-average wear for its age\u003c\/strong\u003e, a clear testament to a life of use rather than abuse. The black Tolex and grille cloth remain exceptionally well preserved and there is only light corrosion visible on the rear panel components, consistent with careful, long-term ownership. Functionally, the amp \u003cstrong\u003eoperates exactly as it should\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003esounds outstanding\u003c\/strong\u003e, delivering chimey, dimensional cleans and a warm, touch-sensitive overdrive when pushed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInternally, this Princeton Reverb is \u003cstrong\u003e99.9% original\u003c\/strong\u003e. The only non-original component is a professionally installed \u003cstrong\u003emodern 3-prong power cord\u003c\/strong\u003e, added for safety. Otherwise, the amp retains its original transformers, pots, capacitors, and even its \u003cstrong\u003eoriginal factory tubes\u003c\/strong\u003e. The Schumacher transformers date to the \u003cstrong\u003e39th and 45th weeks of 1964\u003c\/strong\u003e, fully consistent with the amp’s production period. The original Oxford speaker (code \u003cstrong\u003e465-443\u003c\/strong\u003e) was sympathetically \u003cstrong\u003ereconed in 2015\u003c\/strong\u003e, preserving originality while ensuring optimal performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe amp underwent a thorough inspection in \u003cstrong\u003e2014\u003c\/strong\u003e, at which time all components were verified as original and all tubes tested strong and in good condition. No servicing was required beyond installation of the grounded power cable—a strong indicator of the amp’s exceptional originality and health. In the past decade, it has been used sparingly in a smoke-free, home-studio environment. It comes with a later Fender dust \u003cb\u003ecover.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAltogether, this is a \u003cstrong\u003ehighly original, exceptionally clean early-1964 Fender Princeton Reverb\u003c\/strong\u003e—a textbook example of why these amps are so deeply respected by players and collectors alike. With its rare early features, outstanding condition, and authentic blackface tone, this Princeton Reverb stands as a truly special piece of Fender’s golden-era output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel \u0026amp; Origin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eFender Princeton Reverb\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSerial Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eA00234\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003e1964\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Manufacture:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eUSA\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChassis \u0026amp; Electronics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCircuit:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eBlackface-era Princeton Reverb\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Power:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eApprox. 12 watts\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eControls:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eVolume, Treble, Bass, Reverb, Speed, Intensity\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTransformers:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eOriginal Schumacher (606-4-39, 606-4-45)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower Cord:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eUpgraded 3-prong (only non-original component)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker \u0026amp; Cabinet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eOriginal Oxford 10\" (465-443), reconed in 2015\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCabinet:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eOriginal Princeton Reverb combo cabinet\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCovering \u0026amp; Grille:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eBlack Tolex with blackface grille cloth (no Fender badge)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCosmetic \u0026amp; Functional Condition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Condition:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eExcellent; below-average wear for age\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginality:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003e99.99% original; retains original tubes\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eService History:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eInspected 2014; only modification is grounded power cord\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFunctionality:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eFully functional; sounds exceptional \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis amp is in outstanding working and visual condition.
