This is a clone i built a few years ago. Original Fender cabinet, transformers were used.

$1450.00 OBO and freight


Here is a description from my old post in Electronics:

One of my latest projects. An original 1967 cabinet I had gotten and re-covered. I also have a cover for the amp as well as the original power and output transformers. The baffle (from Rick Johnson) will be for a 12" Jensen Neo Jet. Chassis, plates, and eyelet board are from a kit by a long time manufacturer of great reproduction Fender amp parts. NOS tubes (RCA, Sylvania), 225 Orange drop caps (just the best tone I have found for BF era amps). All cloth covered wire, ceramic power tube sockets. Old reverb bag with new tank. Should have a speaker baffle here soon. Also another Princeton cab coming for the original project for Bob Dell (who owned the original amp). We converted his original chassis to a 45 watt Princeton Reverb. Due to the large transformers (Bassman and Twin Reverb) and a 12" JBL we needed a 3" taller cab.

Hi Ken. A few questions.
What are the baffle boards made from on the 12” amps? Are they the original Fender particle board or something else?

Will a JBL D120f fit into a Princeton? Or it that why you had a larger cab built for your mod?

Plywood baffle. Not sure how many ply. Rick Johnson built it. Not sure if a JBL would fit, but don't see any reason why it would not with the offset speaker pattern used

Pine or birch plywood on the baffle?
Thanks!

Awesome. That is an upgrade from the stock Fender for tone.
