Magnatone MP-1 1x12 tube combo in Gold COuntry, CA for $400 obo
Here is a seller offering one of the lesser known but still terrific Magnatone models, the MP-1. This is from the Estey Period and when they were changing factories - I think some of these were even made in Pennsylvania - but quality control was still high and they were expensive amps at the time made with very good components. As far as I am aware, none of the MP-1's have "true vibrato" (varistor) but they do have both a gorgeous lush tremolo and reverb, all tube driven.
Note: That Alamo amp may be interesting as well - but my experience tells me they are very hit or miss.- JC
