But then I thought that when I sold my one - which was in quite good condition with the original speaker - for £450 about fifteen years ago too…
Given the condition you describe it still sounds like way too much though.

Have I talked myself out of it yet?
Essentially they sound a bit like a trumpet - a brassy, raspy tone which is great for lead - but become very boxy and congested-sounding for chord rhythm if they're pushed hard. The speaker is a big part of this, the 5F1 with 12" speaker amps you can get nowadays are far more suited to a wider range of sounds, and are usually cheaper than this too.

Sounds a lot, I'd personally go for something like an Ampmaker kit and 1x12 cab. It would be much cheaper and sound better.
That said, I don't particularly like the sound of tweed amps generally. I you do a used Custom Shop Deluxe (or similar) would be a much more usable option.
