Can anyone share their experience with these?
There is a cheap one on a local CL that has my interest but I don't know enough about it.
Any help would be great.

It really depends on how much it's going for. They are/were rad budget tube amps (the 50's sound like a darker Bassman, from what I remember) and they sound perfectly serviceable at worst, but what makes a killer budget amp with possible QC concerns at $3-400 is kind of an overpay at $6-700.

The Tube Midget is a Marshall 2204 circuit with 5881s. Higher gain than a Marshall though. The big benefit is carrying 50 watts around in such a small package.

I am going to give it a shot . The price is too right and I have always been too poor to own a 2204.
