I picked up one for $5 at my swap meet...full of mullard tubes...mine was made in the Sundholm brothers' garage.
 
Hmm, let's see...
Tube:
1964 Fender Deluxe Reverb (slightly modded)
1968 or '69 Fender Super Reverb (blackfaced)
Mid 80's Mesa "son of boogie"
Unknown vintage Fender Blues Jr
1981 50w Marshall JMP

Solid State:
Yamaha Thirty112
EH Freedom Amp (battery powered)
Roland Spirit 10A practice amp
Fender Mini Tonemaster (9V "pocket amp")
 
I have a 70's Fender Champ and a Sony reel to reel from the 50's I use for recording.

I bought an Alamo Montclair Reverb 2565 at Salvation Army last year for $15. It's a one 12" tube amp and shows potential if fixed up. As is it sounds great but crackles a lot.
It was made in Texas and looks 70's.

I'd be interested to hear from anybody who has any experience with them.

MusicMan 112 RD (50) ~ great little late-70s amp that I've never been able to part with. Just saw a like-new 80s model selling for $800 at an online shop. Maybe I'm not alone.

Might be the speaker...you can tell from the Aluminum coil cover it hasnt been changed since the 70s...also many of those old tube amps have the componants soldered together on the end of nails instead of PC boards...because of the heat...and spiders will put webs on them...I once fried a spider on a few leads and smoke came rolling out of it...I freaked...but the amp was still perfect after looking inside I vacuumed it out...lol.
 
I have a Tech 21 trademark and a sansamp
I have a Crate VC508 tube amp.
Sunn 200s head...Model T head...(Just like Hendrix from the 60s)
Line6 Flextone 2 head.
Peavey 4-12 MX roadcase cabinet with 4 scorpions.(Rare as it is...I wish I had another)
Homemade Isolation Cabinet built to Randall specs.
