Hello there, I am new to this forum, so here is my first post:

Found a Fender Princeton Chorus standing on the street, rang the doorbell and asked the guy if he forgot his amp outside. he said that it is broken because he left it outside after a gig and it was raining. He said: Take it, if you want it, doesn't work anymore. Said and done. Took it home. Repaired the electronics (nothing serious...) Cleaned all the pots, changed the tolex and all metal parts and there it is. Like NEW. £200 of material and maybe 8h of work

Photos are here:

Let me know what you think

Hi joegranada,

Sounds cool, but the link comes up to a blank page. Is it just me? I am not going to join, if that matters.

That is possible stratele52. Although, I have tried with two different browsers, FF which I use regularly, and the latest version of IE, and both came up blank. Is it possibly a country of origin issue? I have never even heard of "springpad". :? Even if my software was out-dated, the link should work partially at least, or even give an error message, I just get a blank page. :(

stratele52,

Could you copy the pics and post them using PhotoBucket, or Picasa, or some site that we can easily view? :)

Nice color - matches well with the red-knobs!

Princeton Chorus' are nice amps, SS or no, and I still love mine.

Is it Adobe reader that we use for looking picture ? If yes try to update it. But I'm a newbie on computer.

Thanks joegranada,

The before and after are striking. Great job, that looks fantastic!

Definitely unique.

Definitely nice work. So it looks like it was a black-knob originally. That's what I have and I'm not sure if there's a difference between the red-knob and the pre-DSP black-knob.

How does she sound?
