I was SHOCKED that nobody bought it for that price! :hmm: this is the one amp that I've wanted for a long time. About 9 years ago I got a clean one of these and the dumbass in Florida single boxed it with EGG CRATES on each corner. Showed up mangled!! These amps have amazing tone!

I would have snatched it up if I could have taken delivery. Unfortunately, all I could do was look at it and drool.

My amps : 1970 Orange Matamp. My first tube amp, got it in 1980. It still has 2 original Mullard ECC83 preamp tubes.
1972 Fender Princeton reverb and 1990 Vox AC30, one of the last made in England.

Got a new filly in my herd, 1962 Brown Princeton:

Had to sell a white whale to fund this project, but really wanted a more transportable amp that maybe will keep up with my drummer volume wise. Had a hard time finding one with an original Jensen in it, but found this one that was pretty much perfect for my needs, except that it had a warehouse speaker in it, but the transformers and circuit and cosmetics were all great. Seller was motivated so for the price I got it for I was able to get the fender stamped JBL and it was good to go. Threw some Brimars and Bugleboys in it and now have a really great sounding amp.
