It'll probably worth giving Hogy a call first.

Best, Pete.

I would be inclined to go with Alan Phillips of Carol Ann amps.
Alan has serviced quite a few originals, and built a few Wreck type amps called for customers who owned real Trainwrecks but didn't want to haul them out on stage.
Hogy would also be a person who could give you some good advise.

Hogy is probably the best option but, I will say that the BEST amp tech around is Billy Zoom in Orange, CA. I've had him set up two of my amps and it was well worth it. I'm sure he could do a Wreck right.

Allyn Meyers, Hogy, Billy Zoom, Alan Philips, Paul Ruby. Also ask at the ampgarage forum. It is dedicated to Trainwrecks and *umbles

That's the greatest clip I've ever heard.
For me it's perfect.
Nice playing too!
