    Princeton + D120F

    Is it possible to fit a D120F into a 65 Princeton Reverb RI? Asking for a friend

    I think so but iIRC the speaker needs to be off-set so the magnet clears the output tranny. Thus, a new baffle board will be needed.

    If you rotate the speaker until the ribs are clear of the OT, you may get it close to center! I managed to fit an SRO 15 in my Twin centered.

    I'm thinking this might be a good excuse to buy a 65 DRRI. I'll keep you posted

    A 12" speaker is what Princeton was meant to have!
    The amp just opens up so nicely with more clean headroom and chime. Worth the price of admission.
    Dan the Blues Man sold me his and I couldn't be happier!

    I have played in a mix with Bob's PR and can attest that if you want a tube amp with the Fender Sound, there is no better option. Why Dan the Blues Man let that one get away is beyond me! It's probably the best PR I've ever heard. Bob left it at my house for a few days and there was no way I was going to plug into it because it would have ruined me. It's real - and it's spectacular!

    Bwah ha ha! The 12" speaker makes all the difference. Princetons can suffer from "squakbox syndrome" (read Champ) with a 10" speaker.

    The 10" might be great for recording, but the 12" is best for gigging. Makes it sound more like an adult amp.
