Restoration & Upgrade

1970's Fender Princeton Reverb

Full overhaul and restoration — modernized power fusing, complete recap of all electrolytic capacitors, adjustable bias added, and a custom replacement backplate fabricated to spec. This one came in tired and left sounding better than it ever did from the factory.

Work Performed

Power Safety Modernized to IEC power standard for safer use

Recap & Upgrade All electrolytic capacitors upgraded with new production equivalents

Adjustable Bias Bias trim pot added — allows precise adjustment for any matched pair of output tubes

Backplate Custom replacement backplate fabricated and fitted to original dimensions and styling
