Ampeg 115 question

I was talking to a guy that's selling a Hartke 2000 and an Ampeg 115 cab. It's an older model cab, and he doesn't have any info on it, and I was wondering if anyone might know the possible wattage of this little cab. 200 watts? It's a stretch, I know, but I thought maybe someone might know the specs or possible specs. Here's a pic.

It looks to me like an 1x15 e or en and its maybe been re carpeted. if the price is right id go for it I like hartike heads they are nice and sound very similar to ampegs but are way cheap. Id probably pay like 150 for the head and probably like 150 for the cab...

Thanks. I won't mention prices because it's a no-no (I don't know why though) but I'll just say that it's less than that.

I've been trying to find it on Google, but I didn't see any with out the casters and without the little emblem on the bottom right, but I suppose they have been removed at some point.

It COULD also not be an Ampeg at all... The grey felt carpeting is nothing I've seen on an Ampeg cab, and the proportions of the cab seems a little "off" to me. Could just be the picture i suppose.

Have him send you a pic of the back of the cab - the jackplate will be a dead giveaway. Also, the effects handling should be printed on it.

Yeah, he said he recently had both the head and cab recovered. I'll definitely be looking at it closely before I buy it, if I buy it. I'm looking to buy an amp in the next couple weeks, so I'm seeing what's out there right now. My budget kind of restricts me to getting a combo, so if I can find a decent head and cab for about the same, I'd rather go that way.

looks like a 115e with rat fur on it to me.
