I have the opportunity to buy a Vox AC-50 + 1x15" Vox cab made in 1959!!!!!!!
Price: ~ $730
The seller said me: All part is original (except a piece of resistor and a speaker jack)
It sound good.... but who know?
Please post me your opinion!

I didn't think the Vox AC-50 was around in 1959. Still it may not be a bad price if it's mostly original and in good working order.

I don't know about using the 1x18 cab but that AC50 should be damn sweet. Those Telefunkens should be sweet tubes also -- I use them whenever possible in my stuff.
