Hey guys,
I just got a Fender Princeton Reverb SF. Its in good electrical and cosmetic condition. I'm going to re-cap it and probably put a new speaker in it as well. I've got a few questions:
I'm trying to understand what the difference between the Silverface and blackface versions are. Schematics that I have found have been blurry! I am considering "blackfacing" this amp... some have said this is quite simple to do.
I'm also trying to understand what "blueprinting" the power section is. Is this just matching the resistors on the power tubes...
Third question, grid stoppers... whats the recommended value, wattage? What else do I need to know about these?
At this point all I can do is recap the thing and put the 3-prong cord in... sigh!
I love the atmosphere here at prodigy, but if there is a more suitable forum out there for these questions, please let me know!
thank you!
