Buying a true vintage Vox or Marshall is like buying a 60's Jaguar.

I agree whole heartedly. Over the years I have owned a 59 bassman, 65 super reverb, deluxe reverb and some fender tweeds. The were great when I could keep them working. There is no really good tube amp tech here so I tried and maintain them myself....a royal pain in the ass. The good thing is they were not hard to sell.
Sold them all off and bought a few good high quality hand wired amps from Kendrick and Victoria and I haven't looked back. Victoria carries a lifetime warranty for the original owner....cant beat that.
Of course I did have to keep my 65 vibrolux for the studio, it just sounds too good...haha
