This amp gives me some of the sweetest sounding clean tones I've ever had. Very well built. In excellent condition, with reverb/vibrato footswitch. 

This is just for the amp head and footswitch. 

I have a matching 2 x 12" cabinet I would be willing to sell seperately. Eminence Cannabis Rex 16 and Legend 10516 speakers. They are both 16 ohms, wired in parallel for an 8 ohm load. The Cannabis Rex is 12" and the Legend is 10". The cab has been modified to fit the 10" speaker, but I believe you can unscrew the attachment if you want to fit 2 12" speakers

From the builder: 

Custom built 63' Blackface Super Reverb / Vibroverb. The amp has a mid pot like a Super but I used the smaller Vibroverb 40w output transformer for better compression and sustain when driven.

Changes from a stock circuit are increased filtering which reduces ac noise and firms up the low end when playing loud. I used two 500v caps in series (1000v) with equalising resistors on both sides of standby switch for longevity but I suggest leaving the switch in on position and only use the power (standby switching adds unnecessary stress to receiving tubes).
Increased reverb attinuation resistor slightly (470k to 820k) and using 12AU7 and 12DW7 tubes in place of driver and preamp to reduce the reverb and make the control actually useful.
The Vibrato channel is stock with an added push pull tone stack lift (nice signal boost).
The normal channel is totally reworked into a higher gain / lead channel. The effects are now applied to both channels and the normal channel is now in phase with the vibrato and can be jumpered with a patch cable to be played in parallel.
Im using a 5u4gb rectifier in place of a 5ar4 for dynamic sag. The 5ar4 offers little resistance and is close to solid state rectified so I installed a tube / solid state switch in place of the ground switch so you can obtain the stock or increased sag feel.
Invisible at 100% rotation ppiv master volume (100k dual used, reduced grid leak resistance cleans up the blocking distortion and just sounded "sweeter") mounted on rear in place of ext speaker jack.
Output is for 8 ohm speaker load.
Tubes are all new 3x Mesa (EH rebrands) 12AX7, JJ 12AU7LP, JJ 12DW7, NOS USA 12AT7, 2x Sovtek 6L6WXT, and Shuguang 5U4G.
You can use EL34s without modifications just re bias.
Cabinet is dovetail jointed solid pine covered in navy blue bronco tolex.
Footswitch included.

This amp really sounds and plays great the Vibrato channel is super clean like a blackface and the normal channel has nice earlier slightly asymmetrical overdrive and would work killer with a tube screamer in front.
