Just an observation but I've noticed that silverface princeton reverbs on ebay are often priced lower than the reissues.

In my opinion a silverface that has been reasonably maintained is a better quality amp.

I haven't seen a SFPR any year less than PRRI on Ebay... I'll have to check again.

You are not wrong mhowell, Silverface amp are often better amp than many new tube's amp. But you need to know a good tech for a tune-up on the amp.

mHowell, from the photo on Ebay, it looks like the reverb tank lines are reversed. Input to output and vice-versa? If that is an Accutronics tank.
