Cathode bias amps have more sustain and dynamics but a spongier response particularly with bass notes (more sag). Fixed Biased amps have a firmer feel but less dynamics and sustain.
Some Famous Cathode Biased Amps:

All Fender Tweed Deluxe Amps
All Fender Champs
Vox AC-30
Most Matchless amps
Marshall 18 Watt
Some Famous Fixed Bias Amps:

Fender Narrow Panel Tweed Bassman, Super, Bandmaster and Pro
All Fender Blackface Amps (except the Champ)
All 100Watt and 50 Watt Marshalls
All Hiwatt Amps
To keep this Amp singing please bare in mind that old amps like this one need looking after! They need to be serviced regularly, and components at some point will need to be replaced so make sure you know a good local amp engineer.
Apart from 4 new plastic knobs (yes they look naff!) they can be replaced, just had no time to look my self..
So, there you have it!
Got ta say this amp does sound ACE! Its got warmth, bite, sustain and much more!
