Link to description and video.  I found an error in the Circuit Description.  Sounds right.

Hmm, I was expecting to see Carlitta actually wiring one of these.

Might be the wrong time period, but every once in a while Fender comes along and just steals a bit of the market with some sort of vague memory that somehow Princetons in 64 were cherished.  The bring a good dollar now, but I never used a 12 watt amp until 2000.  Yep, that is about the only thing Y2K took away.


Still like them tho.

You're much more well spoken in that video than I imagined.
How do you have time to wire those up and then shoot a video?
With the paint by number boards I imagine even Jimblob could cobble one of those together. 

I'm thinkin about doing a run of these for $2298
That's one better. I'll be rich!

...microphones worth more than the amp..    handwired  on a sort of pc board..    humm ....

Many years back I played in a original group where  the singer played a Tele and the white knob, blackface version Princeton. I played the silver with a 12in EV. Everyone used to rave about my tone, I just used a Thomas organ, rotovibe, old rat box, Sonic distortion and Tube screamer.

He plugged his tele straight into that white knob Princeton,  must have had some cord, because I had variety but his tone was just so completely right! I think it just had the tone knob, no TMB or TB. If it was a crowded 200 seater or up you could just drop a little microphone in front of them.  Mine would lose all stage volume but his you could still monitor yourself a little. You can even run them up on something then just step away from your microphone and get a little bleed from there.
