I think it's going to be hard to find a 6V6 amp with a master volume. Nothing comes to mind and I think that most people who want 6V6s want them so that they can crank the amp up and get tube drive at lower volumes without needing an amp with an MV. I see master volumes on a lot of EL84 amps, but even the guys who make those don't have them on their 6V6 models.

I also doubt that you're going to find a new amp under $1000 with an alnico speaker. The high price of the speaker alone would be too much of the amp's cost. You can always add that later on so it's not as big of an issue.
