Howdy,
My '65 Princeton stays pretty clean for my 620-12 string. A Silver-Face version from the 70's would cost less and still be afordable and portable. Good luck!
Respectfully,

Here's the inside pics of my Premier Model 120. Notice the "Heater Duct Vent" underneath the speaker. I was told once that this was at one time a great idea to break up the back pressure from the speaker, making for a better sound quality. Some sort of sound baffle, if you will. It works nicely for a 50+ year old practice amp.
Larry, have you got any pics to share with us on that '65 Princeton? I'd sure like to see it. It's not every day I get to see a vintage Fender amp. |

Rob,
I don't have a scanner or I'd be glad to post the pics. I made some photos of it 2 years ago with one of my favorite guitars of ahem, er..another brand. I'll bet the '65 Princeton would sound BETTER with a Rickenbacker and I can't wait to put my 360-6 (Maple-Glo) through her when I get it off 'ay-away 
It's a mild-mannered amp, making it a good choice for my 620-12 string. I'm keen on turning it up to 10 and putting my 360 through it in another 5 weeks or so. Rob, I'll bug one of my friends with a scanner and see if I can get some pics posted; how's that?
Respectfully,
Larry Carroll |

BTW, I know that some people must have had a Premier amp at least once, since there were a lot made before their demise in the mid 70's. Has anyone here besides myself and Mitch ever owned and/or used a Premier amplifier? If so, and if enough people here have, I might start another thread on discussing these amps. |
