Hi all! I am hoping to get some guidance on an issue for a recent purchase.

I bought a used Fender Princeton and I just received and plugged in the amp. Upon first inspection the volume, reverb, speed, and intensity pots are stripped of faulty in some way - they just spin without stopping and the 1-10 indicators do not line up with how the amp is functioning.

I have videos of the amp unboxing and me operating it, including the pot issues. I reached out to the seller almost immediately letting them know about the issue.

Is there anything else I should do? Should I initiate a refund request since the amp is clearly faulty (it was listed as Excellent on Reverb)?

Thank you for your assistance everyone!

I currently have a Victoria 518, but am looking too add an amp with more chime and not dark and fuzzy like a 5f1.

I am stuck between a 65 PRRI with 12” celestion or a vintage 1968 drip edge Vibro Champ.

I am generally a bedroom player, but occasionally jam with my friend on drums. I don’t do pristine clean tones, opting instead to get edge of breakup and distorted tones.

Anyone had experience with the usefulness of a vintage fender over a modern reissue?

Thanks!

Fantastic seller. Buy with confidence!
