Hello all, new account, long time since visiting. I have a silver face Vibro Champ that is very nice but I was spoiled years ago with a vintage 1965 Princeton Reverb. I have found a Princeton, 1971 Silver Face as it is advertised. All of my searching only shows serial numbers up to 1970. This number is a bit past that but not much, A155XX. I wonder if I can get some verification. Also, it looks pretty clean, some Tolex wear, marks, etc. Silver panel looks ok. Wonder what it is worth? Asking is $1,000.https://s1374.photobucket.com/user/jrstern11/library/Princeton?page=1

The speaker's ID code indicates it was made in the 30th week of 1973. If original to the amp (and it appears to be so) that would jive with the orange-stripe grill cloth which was introduced across Fender's production line in the summer of that year. Given that and the fact that it's a non-verb model, I think the asking price is $150 to $200 too high.
