Need Amp suggestions

My old 10 string Ricky lap steel is finally coming home next week. I really need some suggestions as to a REALLY great sounding amp for it. Any help appreciated. Thanks!

For around the house, I like an old Fender Deluxe Reverb. Very sweet sound at low volumes. For the gig I try a few different ones to find the right sound.

A Peavey Classic 30 works well for this application. Check it out on the Peavey website here;http://www.peavey.com/guitaramps/classic_30.html

I just recently bought a 66 Ampeg Reverberocket from a local music store for $350. One of the best buys out there for vintage tube amps in my opinion. Incredible tremelo and reverb and so cool to look at! It is an 18 watt amp through 12 " speaker but it is really loud and really clean up till about 7, gets a nice smooth distortion after that. I have played my lap steel, guitar, and pedal steel through it and they all sound fantastic.

I've even seen some great reviews for that amp over on the Fender Forum! Everyone seems to agree it has a sweet, warm tone!

I just played a gig at the Boonville rodeo dance with my Zumsteel through my classic 30 combo amp,atop a classic 410 cab. WOW!!!!!
Great tone and clear as can be. You can use the second channel and growl it up as needed. Sweet spring reverb,etc.
A fraction of the cost af a Fender, too.
