Ok just the current stuff:
66 Fender Pro Reverb (showroom clean)
68 Fender Super Reverb (reverend all tone speakers)
89 Fender Champ 12 (tube amp with verb)
Marshall 15 CDR (great little amp)
Rivera Chubster 40
Rivera Chubster 55
and a whole slew of small tube amps in the studio IE: Supros, Gretsch, Valco, Silvertone, etc...
Ive been slowly selling off the collection. I want to buy a Deluxe Reverb, another bassman, and possibly another Vibrolux.
I have been thinking about selling the super reverb, eveb though it is seriously the best sounding amp I have ever played. Just to heavy. I was going to have a 2x10 Combo made out of it from one of the custom cabinet shops. That may work too.

If it makes you feel better, my dad has an Explorer amp and a dead mint '62 Skylark. Does that redeem me any? ha ha |

Haaahahahahahahhhaaaaaaaa....boy herb, did you ever hit that just right !!!.....but its not as bad (good ??) as it used to be....earlier this year i decided to take inventory of the amps i have--insurance on the collectibles was getting crazy for objects just sitting, not earning their keep...well to say the least i was astounded--i had just over 28K worth of pristeen vintage fender-gibson-marshall amps collecting dust...plus a closet full of kalamazoo's, GA-5 model ones, etc...then add on the ones that i play at home and/or gig with..plus as you guys know, i'm constantly picking up new stuff to mess with..plus the kit amps i love to build...well, you get the picture..the list was never-ending..... 
Soooo.....i've sold off just about all the collectibles--not enough of a profit margin to warrant the money tied up in a vintage amp as an investment--i've made a fairly good profit on what i had, but when you figure in the time involved, its just not worth it unless you are into it as a business to make money-& i'm not--soooo i've gotten rid of some of the player amps as well, and have narrowed my keepers down to what i consider a choice handful.. 
--here is my list consisting of what i'm keeping in the music room now --a couple original vintage--a couple i use at home--a couple i use at different type gigs depending on venue.....
'63 Fender brownface princeton.
'65 Fender deluxe reverb.
'92 Matchless DC30.
'03 Carr mercury.
'03 Fender blues jr. with s2amps Vox AC15 conversion.
'05 crate cpb150 powerblock ( for gigs at college/rowdy joints).
'04 peavey studio pro 112 (mainly for outdoor stuff).
'05 Blue Tone Pro 30M.
'04 Fargen mini-plex.
new Trinity 15 lightning.
new Headstrong 'lil King Reverb.
plus the few low watt kits i've put together that are fun tone monsters to mess with from Gerhart/Guytronix--Mission amps--Allan amplification..& STF electronics.
of the above list, the Carr..Headstrong..Fargen..Trinity..s2amps converted blues jr..& Matchless are DEFINATE KEEPERS--all for different reasons---i don't care to do the collectible/investment thing anymore...not worth the headaches or money/time/return....now i'm simply enjoying.
ohh...later this evening at the gig i'm playing a new Marshall 1974X 112 18 watter that interests me...if it cuts thru the mix i may end up taking it home....
