For the PT I'd most likely look for a code starting with 02.
Really great score on a player extraordinaire. I'd just swap out to a repro cab before I spent a bunch time getting a few coats of paint off that may not be much of an improvement but I'm not sure what the point would be anyway. It'll never be anything but a player. I don't know much about blackface mods for the early silvers but may be worth tweaking the circuit a bit if anything. The beauty of a $100 amp like this is that cost $100. I would just play the dog out of it as is if it were me....

Agreed, quite clean in there. For some perspective, I just paid $720 for a 1973 Princeton Reverb...again, score!
DEFINITELY!Words of great wisdom!!
Why put all that money into a new cab ? Keep it all intact and play it as is. Maybe do a bit of clean up...but keep it intact.
That amp has a quite story to tell.
I'm on a drip edge roll! Got out of rehearsal early yesterday and hit a couple of pawn shops on the way home. $65 out the door! It does have a torn speaker however. I may flip this to fund the DR restore. I dont need it, and it doesnt compare to my Silvertone or Princeton. Pretty though!
My gigging rig as well.Love my BF Vibro Champ as well.
Depending upon setting ... I gig mine and supplement with instrument mic :
I agree, but I think the best reason to switch cabs is to get away from the "particle-board" and get to a floating baffle, etc.I never understood the cosmetic mods to make a Silverface look like a Blackface. It just seems like a waste of money. Or maybe it's because I'm of the age where BF amps started to become "collectible" while most of the SF gear were still in the clubs with players.
I can understand cleaning up or even replacing tolex that's as ragged as this, but can also appreciate leaving it as-is. There are some really good builders out there for a new cab, but you already have the best built BF/SF cab underneath your painted tolex. Imo, the best investment to return ratio is either a re-tolex or leaving it as-is.
Am I the only one that likes the way it looks, JUST like it is?eace2

PB is really a tone killer, imo.
Ive heard some absolutely amazing sonic differences afterwards.
