Here it is. I've decided I prefer all the joyous tone from my 5e3 clone. This beast needs a good home. It buzzes a bit but has great tone and I recently replaced the stock speaker with a Cannabis Rex. Loud, clean and with more bark than a Jack Russell. 

This is a beast and a really good alternative to a Fender Deluxe Reverb! All original, apart from the replacement speaker (but you're welcome to the original too) and missing a rubber foot. Otherwise all great!! 

I'll let it go for £350, which with the replacement speaker is as close to an absolute bargain as I can manage. Buy collects from Brighton.

    What buzzes? The cabinet?

    Hi @JamesSGBrown, what I ought to have said was not "buzz" but "hum". It hums but sounds amazing... particularly with the Cannabis Rex.

    Potentially interested if I shift my Princeton. Will be in Brighton for a gig within the next couple of weeks also

    I had the very same amp for about a year . . . OMG was it loud ! ! !  Cracking amp & massively underated IMHO :-) 
    Id just like to point out that, despite all the video and DNA evidence, it genuinely wasn't me, your Honour  !

    I agree, I've had several of these and all were epic amps.  If you can get your head around the EQ and add a couple of very minor mods (the C-Rex being one of them, already done here) they're superb and built better than a 70's Fender.

    Minor mods:

    Add the C-Rex and take the back off (superb speaker that pushes it towards a more USA voicing).
    Change the bright cap for 100-250pf and leave it on (the stock cap allows too much mids for me, this makes it much more usable and I tended to leave it on)
    Reduce the first stage coupling cap from 0.1uF to 0.01uF (limits the bass, makes it much less flabby and improves the overdrive sound).
