I am looking into buying all new tubes for my PR. I also would like to correctly date it and find out what circuit is is to see if it is perhaps the same circuitry as some of the older blackfaced PR models. Any suggestions?

Pics of the chassis, trannies, speaker, cabinet interior, and color of grill cloth will provide the clues. Manufacturers' EIA codes stamped on each tranny would also be a big help.

Regardless of actual "birth" date, the closest pedigree to the original BF/SF models for your amp will most likely be AB1270, which was the final circuit revision before FMI did away with such designations.

This schematic should be a match for your amp......

It's not really necessary to have precisely matched amps to run a stereo setup. Any Princeton Reverb would work fine, even a non-verb Princeton.

The serial number F108338 indicates it is a 1981 according to this site
http://www.superiormusic.com/page195.htm

I will try to get into posting some picks of the trannys and the other things you listed. But will look into the circuit info you mentioned so I can try to find a match for this amp so I can run in stereo at a later point. That's another reason why I'm looking into what the circuit type is.

Do you know specifically how I can tell what circuit mine is?
