Sorry, guys, but I had a guy back out at the last minute. Next time, I will use better discretion and wait for the money in hand.
So.... (embarassed).......... 
Here we go again.
I have a 1969 Fender Princeton for sale. It is one of the best sounding princetons I have ever heard. There has been some mods to it. Someone has added a standby switch in the second 1/4 inch input slot. Also, the transformer has been changed to a beefier one. The plug has been changed to a grounded one. I had the amp on the road in an ata road case (included.) The road case is actually made for aircraft parts but the amp fits in there rather nicely (see picture)
It still has the 6V6 RCA power tubes and original rectifier. The preamp tubes are electro harmonix and sound incredible. It has been gone over by an amp tech and has a clean bill of health. Great for a studio or as a backup on the road (which is what I did)
I would like to sell it locally in the Nashville area (it's on craigslist) but am open to shipping it elsewhere (USA only). Since it has the ATA case (I got from fellow forum-member Kurt Graber), it should arrive with no problam. I would guess-timate the shipping costs at $40 in continental US plus insurance.
I had several people wanting to buy this. Those who I e-mailed earlier stating its sold....well....I will be getting in touch with you all asap.
Thanks and lesson learned.

Great amp. All time classic, and a great year as well. If I didn't have one, I'd be all over it. Your price is very fair. I love late '60s silver face Fenders.
In case anyone isn't familiar with the Princeton sound, they are actually very big and fat sounding much like the bigger Fender amps. But at 12 watts, it's more of a small club or recording amp. They break up very nicely at reasonable volumes. Great on Tele, and actually sound right for steel guitar at low volumes.
