Comments: The non-reverb Princeton did not exist as an AA763 model, instead, it kept the 6G2 designation well into 1964. It was basically a Brownface Princeton with a blackface cabinet and faceplate, but the faceplate had numbers for the controls (like the brownface amps) and the knobs were the white barrel-knobs as found on the Blonde amps from around ´61/´63.
