OK Bry, thanks.
So I would be OK to install a female jack on the speaker wire coming out of the old amp's speaker, and then plug into that?

OK. Thank-you for the help.
I don't have the new amp yet, so I can't try anything for real.
I am considering taking an old guitar cable and removing the metal housing from one end. Then take the two wires inside, I'm assuming there will be two wires inside, and directly connecting them to the the speaker wires on the old amp.
Any thoughts?

Thank-you for your reply.
Yes, this will really help me. I thought that my idea to use it as an extension would work, and now you have confirmed that it does make sense and is doable.
The old Fender, it looks brand new, has two little "slide on" connectors on the speaker wires.
I think I can buy a cheap 60 watt amp, with an extension connection, cheaper than I could pay someone to diagnose and fix my Fender.
I don't even know how to pull the chasis on the Fender, I guess it involves the screws on the top of the cabinet. The problem seems to come and go, making me think it could be a loose connection somewhere and not a component failure.
Anyway, thanks again.

Hello:
I have a solid state Fender Princeton 65 that is about 11 years old. It is giving me problems. It will only work at very low volume. I don't want to spend money on it right now. I would like to use it as an extension speaker, as it has a decent 12 inch speaker.
What cable/adapter could I use to attach the cable from a working amp's extension speaker connection to the dead Fender's speaker? I guess I need something to attach the two speaker connection wires to, on one end, with a standard female plug on the other.
Any reply is appreciated.
Thank-you.
