1965 Princeton Reverb - Part Two

[@SirLoinMagroin]

Owner should be proud. Nice work.

[@stanesposito2664]

I'm not a tech but enjoy watching a good one work. Very good sounding amp.

[@Joshua_Stephens]

The Power Capacitor solution is slick. Nice Job.

[@yummusicpeterjames4797]

Thank you Brad for a fabulous job, so precise, attention to detail beyond the call of duty 👍 I'm blown out by the professionalism and achieving the best my amp. Has never sounded this good since I bought it back in 1996...Love your work...Pete...

[@BradsGuitarGarage]

It warms my hear to hear such things, mate. I hope it provides a lifetime of faithful service, but of course, if anything isn't satisfactory in the future, be sure to reach out and I'll sort it out for you, mate.

[@Andreas_Straub]

Good professional rework!

[@jtbracknell]

Outstanding craftsmanship!! That amp is a true gem and deserves the respect provided by brother Brad.

[@YeatzeeGuitar]

That does appear to be the original tank. Top notch work as always.

[@maxvockner]

Fine work sir. Fixin the world one amp at a time. Sounds tasty! Getting me pumped for my upcoming Princeton build.

[@mattrorke7536]

Excellent job! That thing looks so clean it’s almost like a re-issue! I like those RCA jacks too.

[@Strumbum01]

Clean looking work!

[@Purezshock]

sounds freakin amazing

[@tracyc7813]

That's how I make replacement reverb send/receive cables. They are expensive to make but sound fantastic and weill last a really long time.

[@tedmich]

Wow sounds phenomenal!

[@misterdecibel]

Thank you for not twisting the negative leads of the cathode bypass caps! It triggers me when people do that.

[@FenderFixer]

Brilliant job.

[@mtbmadman011]

Outstanding comes to mind and I see the previous comment felt the same. Thx so much for the post and share. Its most refreshing to see craftsmanship and integrity in this day and age.

[@Splattle101]

Very tidy looking solution for the filter caps. Great work as usual.

[@joemcgraw5529]

your Attention to detail means everything especially on a vintage amp like this .I like that you did away from the can cap ,well done Brad another Great repair in the books !!!1.Boy she sounds Great gotta love the sound of this amp

[@martinreid1740]

Fantastic detailed work you can be proud of and it sounds great. A little drop of super glue on the threaded inserts of the baffle will make it even more secure.

[@thatampguy]

I’m into this right now.

[@CaptainRon1913]

Nice job, sweet sounding Prince

[@BenState]

That capacitor board you made is really nice work man. I think it looks better laying down like that.

[@goodun2974]

Not that you need my approval, Brad, but I like your little tag-board for the radial capacitors. 👍

[@jimgibson9811]

Very nice work. Thanks for sharing all that practical experience.

[@rodneykroetsch2924]

Great job 👍

[@paulshurmon138]

Thanks for the video.

[@fredfrederici7562]

Great job brad

[@seanweatherford1251]

Well done Brad. The plastic bottom covers for the footswitch are a pain when damaged or missing.

[@fredfrederici7562]

It sounds wonderful good job brad

[@Skman22]

Love it... great work as always fella.

[@riley0187]

Smart job

[@RaxFx]

that reverb is sweeeet

[@greg3030]

Crazy!

[@northwoodsnerdl2150]

Nice work as always Brad. Just wondering why in this case you didn't repurpose the ground switch to something useful. Thanks, Brad

[@jm6651]

My TAD 6v6str went crap after a month or two also. Wish I’d seen this before I bought it.

[@BradsGuitarGarage]

Get in touch with TAD, mate. They're very good about returns and want to keep their customers happy.

[@baabaabaa-El]

Amp crumbs!!

[@mattrorke7536]

I can’t look at a chassis anymore without saying “Shazzy”.

[@paulwatson8809]

Brad, if you could makeover my wife as good as this, I'd let you keep the bag of used parts.

[@BradsGuitarGarage]

Go and give your wife a hug, mate. If she puts up with half of what Michelle does, she's solid gold.

[@paulwatson8809]

@BradsGuitarGarage She's pretty solid - not quite gold, but a quick bath in evaporust and she polishes up damn nice.

[@nickk8650]

Hey Brad, do you have any tips for a back panel of a tweed deluxe that is leaving a small gap between it and the chassis? I suspect the panel may be slightly oversized and thus warping in the middle when put in place

[@j.w.5485]

Nice work as always! Do the large axial filter supply caps offer any better specs such as ESR and ripple over the radials, or am I talking out me arse?

[@BradsGuitarGarage]

Even the best $20+ axial caps on the market come nowhere near the excellent specs of a $2-3 radial from a good manufacturer.

[@j.w.5485]

Excellent. I hate all the space they take up.

[@giulioluzzardi7632]

I found and old/new Phiilips Ecc83 that was so microphonic that just by tapping the cabinet ( Tweed Dlux) it would sound like a drum . The drummer was so amused that they put stix down and sat next tk the amp and used it as a bass drum by tapping his thumb on the side of the cab..that lasted 4 mins and I pulled it and replaced the old/new Phillips with the ubiquitous JJ ecc83s( good but some din't last very long) The phillps looked new but must have been 40 years old maybe more. Which do you recomend for a V1 in a Fender 20/40watt combo just for robustness and if poss a smoothe drive sound?

[@GScott50]

Regarding the TAD 'Summer of 69' 6V6 valves - I have had some in my own Princeton Reverb and I suspect one of them has an intermittent short between screen grid and suppressor. I no longer trust them!

[@tjminasi1442]

How much for reverb cables to US with shipping?…

[@BradsGuitarGarage]

Cable sets AU$100 ea. Likely about AU $30-40 shipping. flick me an email with your model of amp (I make them for PR's, DR's & Twins) and address for a more accurate quote.
