For the price the person is asking I would be seriously looking into it.  Worse case it would be a fun project to get it into top shape...  may need a speaker.  Very little info online unfortunately.

It doesn't look any more poorly built then a Silvertone 148x series amp and those things are capable of sounding absolutely fantastic.  I'd imagine there would be some potential there but who knows... could be a total dog I suppose. I would have certainly taken a chance for $170.

There was a guy selling one on the Boston craigslist for $350 which i thought was a little too high.  It's not up anymore though, he may have sold it.  From the little bit of research I've done, I think it's a Japanese AC15 clone.  oh well...
