I own 4 blackface fender amps: 1965 Princeton Reverb, 1964 Delxue Reverb, 1965 Vibroluxe Reverb and 1965 Twin Reverb., and almost never have to service them. Really, they are built like tanks. Every few years something minor happens, usually user error, usually fixed for 200 bucks or so. Very, very good at clean sounds, and they take all pedals really well. You can get any sound you want. Maybe not a certain compressed hi-gain sound. but damn close. And if you plug them into different cabinets you can even get that. Oh yeah, did I mention they go up in value every year?
