Looks like the parts for a vintage Blackface Deluxe Reverb (AB763) would be around $1,100. Then there is the not insignificant wiring and soldering involved. I see where Victoria was selling them for $2,700. They called theirs the "Club Deluxe", but it was a hand wired Deluxe Reverb. Nice amp if you can find one. Avoid what Fender is calling their Vintage Reissue Deluxe Reverb for $1,500. They are Chinese circuit board amps. Sterile and lifeless. Miniature pots wave soldered crap.
If I ever came across a used Vicky Club Deluxe for a good price, I would jump on it because they were hand wired just like the originals in 1964.
I used to have a '65, but I sold it because I was young and retarded. It remains the only amp I ever sold that I wish I could get back. I may have to build one some day.
