I still think the old ones are nice but I'm tempted to agree with you. I don't think electronics age as well as guitars. I know a 59 bassman will sound a lot different than the current victoria model, but if I were using the amp on a day to day basis, I would rather have the reliability of the new components. Having the 59 would be a nice showpiece and fun to own a piece of history, but that is an expensive piece of history that might have a lot of corrosion going on in its wires along with a slowly disintegrating tag board.
