1956 Harvard all original, including the cover. The seller included the replacement speaker he had in it. It still has the two-pronger - which I will change out. I want to play this thing not let it sit in a closet.

It was in a local shop and on ebay. I went over late Saturday and test drove it. After I changed my underwear, I negotiated with the owner and closed the deal during lunch today.

My 17 yr old son took my SF Princeton so I could have room for the new one.... had to twist his arm. :lol:

Thanks Mike....

As I have stated before, I like the small watt amps, but this thing can scream.

One question I do have concerns replacing the leather handle. It still is fine, but does show considerable wear. I would hate to see it break. Is it acceptable to just replace the leather strap and keep the original hardware? The amp will sit in one place most of the time..... I don't gig - just play for myself/family. Thoughts?

Man,what a good amp!
Yeah,change the handle and keep it...they're kind of hard to find...I ordered one from Allparts for a '62 Princeton,but it seems too small...it works though.
You're right change the cord also.....I always keep all the original parts in a bag.You might have to change the filter caps....that's normal.
Love those Tweeds.
