This Estey Magnatone does not have the True Vibrator circuit, however it has been adapted to us 6V tubes instead of the much more pricey and rare 7189A so what your are basically getting is a vintage Deluxe Reverb amp for $300. Not bad at all.
Note: Magnatone quality and construction is on par with same era Fender (if not better). These amps sold for higher prices at the time than the Fender counterparts.

Magnatone MP-1 amplifier. 20 watts, reverb and tremolo. 2 x 6V6 power tubes and 4 x 12AX7's. Someone has removed the original power tube sockets and put in the 6V6's. Sounds good. Has two separate channels; one for microphone input and one for instruments. The microphone input sounds a bit darker than the instrument channel. The instrument channel has the reverb and tremolo effects, as well as bass and treble tone controls. There is a recording/normal switch that reduces overall volume in the recording mode. $300 or best offer.

- Magnatone M10 Suitcase Tube Combo Amp In Chicago For $250
This is an M10 (not an M10A) so it has the 8" and 3" speakers instead of the 12" and a few less bells and whistles but this is still a heck of a deal for only $250. This amp has the Magnatone True Vibrato circuit. ********************************************...
- Magnatone Estey Model 432 Starlite W True Vibrato In Portland For $400
These little 432 are extremely cool Magnatones - they have BOTH the Pitch Shifting Vibrato and tube Tremolo circuit - and they have Tube Reverb - all into a 12 inch speaker in a nice compact 20 x 22 x 10 inch package. What's not to love?! Oh, well...
- 1966 Magnatone M15 In Fresno For $400
The M15 is a real stereo amp - two completely separate channels with separate Transformers (see the pic) for incredible sound. This Magnatone is in very nice shape too - except for the missing knobs. But the knobs are one of the easiest things to replace....

Thisis a good price on a working Magnatone M10 suitcase amp. He says the Reverb hums bad - keep in mind there are no "cheap and easy fixes" when it comes to these old maggies. That said it is a ncie two channel tube amp with the True Vibrato for $300...
- Maggie Lovers Alert - Magnatone Bass Amp In Boston For $175 - Probably Great For Guitar
It doesn't have the "True vibrato" circuit but I'd bet dollars to donuts this dual 6L6 Magnatone bass amp with a 5AR4 Rectifier sounds darned good cranked up with a guitar in front. Vintage Magnatone Bass Amp Head - $175 (South Shore) Reply...
