Just replaced the speaker on my Princeton 65.

Old voice coil is well cooked. Had a couple of dry joints on resistors, but who'd have thought it.

Congratulations......a very cost-effective way to get the amp back into service.

That original speaker looks like a bucket of extra-crispy KFC!

:lol:

Rawk on!

I have a speaker expert in my area who can fix the old speaker for less than $40.
He do lots of old vintage speaker for me.
Keep your old one.
