Amp Shopping

Hi Skip,
I was just browsing some great looking older amps and was wondering if you had any thoughts on their quality and price. I didn't get a chance to try them out yet (I had a harp on me, but the guitar shop didn't have any mics), but I will. Here's the info from the tags:
Fender Champion 600 1951 $1095
Danelectro DM10 1960s $299
Alamo Mild #3 1953 $595
Fender Blues Jr. Used $295
Fender 1968 Bassman + 2x12 Cab $699
Fender silver faced 1968 Princeton reverb $899
Fender Pro Jr. $419
What do you think? Do any particularly stand out for quality and value?
thanks very much!
Hello PM42- Well, be sure to take a mic next time!!
51 Champ- Cool amp. Sure to increase in value.
Danelectro DM-10- Good price!
Alamo- Another cool amp that will increase in value.
Blues Junior- Good price for what I consider to be kind of a modern classic, but it won't go up in value and is fragile compared to an old amp.
68 Bassman- Too much amp for you.
68 Princeton- Maybe not the best tone for harp, but a good price on a real classic.
Pro Junior- Reasonable price, but fragile.
