Is there any one piece of vintage gear you most wished you owned?

Assuming vintage interests you, what one piece of vintage equipment would you most like to own?

The tubes alone would be worth north of $60k, so the amps would probably be north of $150k. I’ve heard a single amp, not a stereo pair, and it is easily the second best amp I’ve heard. The best, a one-of OTL would be a good choice too, but it is a bit scary operationally, so I would be more comfortable with the 59A, not that this would ever be a reality.
