The Paul Rivera period at Fender only officially lasts from 1982-86 and all those amps were built at the FUllerton factory. Once FMIC took over and moved production to Japan and Corona it was PC boards (like the Red Knobs) and no more hand-wired production. The Official Paul Rivera Designed amps are the Twin Reverb II, the Deluxe Reverb II, Princeton Reverb II, Champ II, the Super Champ and the Concert Reverb. He was also involved in the Harvard and Yale Solid State amps of this period.<br /><br />A great resource on Rivera or "II" period Fender amps is located here at: <br /><br />http://www.stratopastor.org.uk/strato/amps/twoseriesfenders/twoseriesfenders.html<br /><br />- JIm CAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906814047068760205.post-52797252923316876392011-06-23T18:40:40.294-07:002011-06-23T18:40:40.294-07:00Hey Jim, I'm actually looking at buying one of...Hey Jim, I'm actually looking at buying one of these in my area in near mint condition for $275. Just curious if you can confirm or deny the "Rivera built" statement that gets thrown around alot with these. I can't seem to find a definitive answer, but it would have been the very tail end of his time at Fender. Are these point-to-point?
