Jo,Will get the address. once I get back home. There are plenty of very good 50 watt Fenders to choose from. From super clean, great for slide guitar Super to great for Blues Bassman. And a lot of in betweens, like the Tremolux or Vibroverb.
What kinda tone are you after? Front end topo and speakers make a world of difference. Along with the "iron" used (transformers). I find that basing the amp after a known amp is the best way to get close to the tone.
And don't sweat the power tubes. You can get 6L6GC to really sound Bluesy by voicing the pre-amp section right. Another thought is a quad 6V6GT amp. You'll get a loud, creamy amp with better overtones, at lower volumes---than most p-p twin 6L6GC amps, IMO.
Good luck... will look for that Fender link.
