I'd love some advise:
I'm in the market for a great tube workhorse for my 1954 Stringmaster and am always looking for great boo-wah.
My budget is around $650-$700 and I love old tube amps (especially Fender) so I'm thinking of one of two things:
1. Weber kit (5E5A)

15" speaker
–or–
2. A PA referbed amp from Skip Simmons
http://skipsimmonsamps.com/amps.html
Both are in my price range but I'm wondering what you guys think? Especially the lap steel guys.
Thanks!

| It doesn't look like they give you the output wattage on those amps. What are they? |

...the weber kit looks like a good deal for the buck. you can't buy anything handwired for less...
...of course you get the added benefit of being able to know it's properly assembled lol |

The weber kits are really very low quality. So are the speakers (sorry to be Debbie downer - its sad but true)
Check out the mojotone kits - if you require good documentation, you can buy them from Marsh amplification.
If you are going to lay down that kind of money, you want it to go towards something fantastic. Weber has really taken a slide lately.
