65 Princeton RI mods anyone?

FWIW, the best things I've ever done to any Fender RI have been to change the tubes to NOS and change the speaker to vintage Jensen. I actually like the new Jensen P12N reissues made in Italy, too, but they are not close to the vintage ones. With a Princeton, I'd look into installing a new baffle for a 12", too, but I'm not sure there's room for just anything in that cabinet. I'm just not a fan of 10" speakers, outside of a Super Reverb that is.

i had a noss’ed up blackie and sf back in the day. both proper. but my friend’s bf deluxe with vintage jensen p12n and a mint 66 bassman head into an old marshall 8x12 were my finest fender moments.

i too had the p12n reissue which was nice but not the vintage butter.

RCA 6V6 smoked glass..

sounds like something Charleton Heston would pour his single malt in. A long slow pull on his 17th century meerschaum pipe…
