Hello all,
Great looking forum. I'm hoping to get some help with a Fender Princeton amp I stumbled upon.
I haven't owned an amp of this vintage before so I'm not really up to speed on its value or how to proceed with it. I would like to keep it and play it for years. Despite the cosmetic issues it works fine and sounds amazing. I've attached some photos for reference. The chassis number is A01111.
Safety-wise, I'm aware it is recommended to replace the two-prong plug. I've heard of the death cap but do not know what or where that is? I haven't opened the amp up but assume it will need to be recapped. How dangerous is it to play this amp as is?
In terms of cosmetics, should I leave it as is? The grill cloth could use a cleaning. The tolex is hanging on the bottom. Should I try to re-glue it? I respect old things and don't want to mess up something that is collectible.
Any help or comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
