Fender Princeton Reverb II owners, I need your help please....

[Phil O'Keefe]

If you have a PRII, could you do me a big favor and take a look at the reverb tank and write down / post all the numbers that are stamped on the tank?

 

My tank's been replaced, and I'm trying to determine what the stock tank was.

 

Thanks!

obviously i know that the amps are different and may use different tanks but the tank from my concert II is an accutronics with 23572-0 stamped into one end

I had to replace mine was well.

Thanks for checking. Is it a long tank (17" or so) or a short (9" or so) tank?

long tank...and it's no problem. the tank is out of the amp right now

[Phil O'Keefe]

I have a long tank in mine, but stock it was a short tank, so they're definitely different, but again, I do appreciate you checking on it for me - thanks.

Don't have a PRII, but I have a Princeton '65 with a short tank.

 

Accutronics. Number stamped on top is 8EB2C1R. Numbers stamped on back are 028055 and 20 56 02.

And thanks for checking that too... but alas, I really need the numbers from a stock PRII tank - the impedance might be different on another amp...

Fender part number was 018454. Check page 3:

There's an entire site dedicated to that little fella!

Thanks for the info. I was already familiar with the PRII site (my personal PRII is the single "Batch F" amp that is listed there), and I already knew the Fender part number, but what I'm hoping to find is the actual numbers that are stamped on the tank itself - that will tell me various things about the tank - impedance, etc.

 

BTW, I couldn't get into the first site you linked to - maybe they've exceeded their bandwidth limitations. I'll try again later.

 

Thanks again for your help though.

Bumping an old thread to add some information - for future reference, this site (tubeampdoctor.com) says that the original tank was a 8AB3C1B.

 

The information is indeed also up in the PRII site, in the FAQ sectionL

Apparently it's the same tank as the one used in the Super Champ - which is nice for me since I can just pop the one out of my SC and try it in my PRII to directly compare the short and long tanks.
