That might be a bit too complicated for a first timer.

I'd try this one:

or this one if you want a tone control too:

I'd not really gut it but mod it so it is like a Princeton, but keep the octal socket preamp tube and use the 6SC7 or even better, rewire the preamp tube socket for a 6SL7GT. It's a simple move of a couple wires.
If the amp was made for a SE 6L6, then I'd use that tube too.
Look on ebay (or local) for an old 6L6 coke bottle tube for a real vintage sound with very simple rewiring of the chassis you have.
