Offered for sale;
Used 1972 Fender Princeton Reverb serial number A26205.
This amp is in very good condition, fully functional and cosmetically nice. There a few small marks here and there. The extension speaker jack has been converted to a headphone jack.
The early Princeton Reverb amps both blackface and silverface have become icons of low wattage recording amps. This amp is comfortable at home and in the studio or gig. Powered by a pair of 12AX7 preamp tubes driving two 6v6 power tubes making about 12 watts of power. The Princeton is tube rectified by a 5U4 and uses a 12AT7 and 12AX7 (substitute for a 7025) to drive the spring reverb and tremolo section.
The resulting amplifier boasts big cleans, smooth overdriven tones, classic Fender reverb and some of the finest tremolo around.
Great example of a desirable Fender combo!
“We test every used amp and pedal when we buy it and bring it up to our standards before we offer it for sale. Then we burn it in for an hour or so before we ship so that there are no surprises.”

TRANSFORMER CODES:
Power: 606 5071 [every Woodward-Schumacher transformer that I’ve seen has the year and then the week. So I would expect this to read 606 150 or 606 7150; meaning 1971, 50th week.
Although the order is reversed, the 50th week of 1971 is in keeping with the other codes on the amp
