princeton reverb

Post by gsb »

Hi!
After few years break of building amps now i,m buildinig Princeton reverb.
I have read several discusions about material choice here -resistors ,caps ..
CC,MF ,r.g.keen,advice about cc resistors.I have read good about PRP resistors.My plan is:
fixed bias,
caps:BLUE SOZO evt. Jupiter but i have no experience with them
electrolyitics: F&T
Resitors : PRP GP 1W ,
- CC gain stage ,reverb ,tremolo in plate position 1W
-PI what is recomended for plate ?
- input grid resistor V1 dale rd 65 ,prp,or CF Takman ?
- cathode resistors PRP ?
-tone slope resistor 100k ?
-I use 1,5k screen resistors on 6v6 -also PRP ?
Thanks for any advices

Why do you want to use 1.5k screen resistors and not the stock Fender 470 ohm?

The PR never had any screen resistors.

The deluxe reverb got them and the deluxe has a plate voltage of only 5 volts more than the princeton's , if it where building the amp I would plan on adding them!

Of course it's a good idea. I was just saying there were no stock 470Ω resistors on the screens of a PR.
