Hi Tony. It looks like you're off to a great start. I have no doubt that you will have a successful build and a great sounding amp at the end. Who knows, maybe you will inspire me to build my StewMac pedal kit that's been sitting on my shelf for a couple of months now. Haha! Thanks for doing this. I hope to learn a lot.
You are taking the right approach by taking your time and reading the instructions. At this stage all i can add is to ensure any surface you are going to solder to is clean amd bright or the solder will just form a blob, cleaning the area will remove any residue. Take your time Tony, you will get there. This is easy for me to say, i have been repairing and building amps for the last 50 years.
You win a free Addicted To Gear sticker for finding a mistake! Thanks for the heads up. Send me your mailing information privately, and I will send you one. Cheers!
Tony is a superhero. Putting his life on the line to provide us with guitar content.

Inspiration is always a good thing. Thanks for watching.
I have faith in you. Stew Mac does a great job of writing instructions.
Thanks I hope I don't let you down. It will be a learning experience for sure!

Looks cool-Thanks for sharing your Amp building journey.
Well done Tony. ( Well the top panel was upside down!) I can tell you tube circuits are easy to understand. I think that old Dan at SM will be happy.

very cool
It's nearly as expensive as buying it directly from Fender already built lol what's the point?
I guess it could be a learning experiment. Some people find joy from tinkering.
This amp is hand wired and does not use a PCB board. The hand wired version from Fender is 2800 $
$3859.99 in Canada for handwired version.
Absolutely
Im just curious as to why a princeton , they're an iconic amp . They've been on countless records. Maybe iv answered my own question . Lol Good luck .
Well, because they sound really good. Are not too big or too powerful and relatively easy to build.
Ok cool . Considering to do this myself . Trying to decide which one to get .
Thx
