I just bought a early 60'ies Dynacord REX (cab is branded as "KING") that was sold as parts /project / scrap for almost free. Found a ground loop (unoriginal speakers touching the grounded amp chassis causing fues to blow). And now I've got a perfectly working amp. Loaded with old Telefunken tubes, 40 watts and a good looker. It's almost hum and hiss-free on full volume now, but those original caps are just waiting for me to turn my back and then BOOM.
I need to change the speakers though. They sound shitty and don't really fit the cab without causing electric mayhem.

OK, so I don't like gear thats younger than meself. This is my Eurotrash rig now. 1965 Hagström III and 1963 Dynacord Rex / King. Loaded the amp with Weber Thames speakers and now it packs some serious German thump (schtumpf). And the control panel has lots of switches, weird symbols and DIN inputs.

haha I love that thing and the Hagstrom! I had a rad 60s Framus Hollowbody back when those kinda things were worthless, cool guitar, wish I'd kept it.

A good Super Reverb is a great amp indeed. I have a late 60's BF Super and a mid 60's BF Vibrolux and both are really great amps. I play the Vibro more, but dig them both.

Just finished my first amp build over the weekend. It's a small box 18W amp with a 1x12 cab. It looks like a half stack that's in danger of being crushed by a Dwarf.

Here's a pic of the insides when it was near completion:
