Hey Aaron, there is a silverface on CL in the Bay Area for a decent price. I don't know much about these or diff. between the silverface & orig blackface, I know the later (80s) blackfaces had a SS rectifier.

Bernunzio Music in Rochester, NY..I've been drooling over it for quite a while  Had one in the 70's when they were just "used Fender amps"
http://bernunzio.com/product/fender-pro-reverb-15316/
I actually drove up there one time to pick up an amp

| I believe these are the same as a vibrolux reverb, but with 12's. Anybody know if I am correct? |

| Pro Reverb is a step up from a Vibrolux Reverb. Larger power transformer, bigger choke, a few other power supply differences. Same output transformer though...Jerry |

Both great amps I think the Pro pushes 40W and the Vibrolux 35W or so. The Vibrolux is not much bigger than a Deluxe, and has 2-10's and 35W vs the Deluxe's single 12 and about 22W. I had a BF Pro Reverb back in the 70's with a '68 Les Paul and got all the sound I needed for the top 40 gigs I played. I'm actually thinking of going smaller (Princeton) and mic'ing at gigs - now only if I could grow some hair and play like Jerry Garcia
OR a Pro reverb

In 1964 the Pro was the same as the "Super Reverb Amp" with different speaker configuration (2x12). I had a 1966 and loved it, best amp I ever had until I blew a speaker!

And these ain't bad either, as long as you don't have to compete with a loud drummer...

Rick, it's a vibroclone. Started life as a beat-up BMR. Several mods were done to boost the clean headroom. Also has a Telonics neo 15. Amp is 49 lbs.

I used to have one. A 60's Blk-face. It was my first amp. My ex-bro-in law "misplaced" it somewhere.
Every time I see one, I get this color face:
