You should be able to use those transformers for a Deluxe, but if the PT used a FWB rectifier you'll need to do the same.

Just about any amp that uses a pair of EL84 or 6V6. Lot's of Fender designs, Marshall 18W, Vox AC15, Matchless....pretty long list. You might even get by with a cathode biased pair of 6L6, like a 5B6, which is a fun build and an amp worth having. Be sure the check filament current requirements.

The 7591s that the Ampeg used are good tubes also .
