Not a bit of it.  A lot of my limited knowledge base has come from reading 
VG, and it seems to me that S-tone, Dano (and Dano-built stuff, incl. some 
S-tone), and even Alamo are all the rage with people who "want one of what 
they started on" (not that I want a Monkey Ward Airline rig).
  You had the model # in there, description of tubes, *plus* your 
non-requisite (i.e. voluntary) admission of non-Champ volume.  That's 
plenty, so "whatever the traffic will bear".
Doesn't seem that the above-mentioned nostalgia kick includes Tiescos, 
though.  There are some things that Time & Memory's rose-colored glasses 
just can't pretty up (See Also "You can't polish a turd").
I would like to find one of those old Regal-built "Blue Bird" acoustics 
like my firstest guitar, though... (wanders off w/ 300-meter stare)
