Ok i am doing research on these now , maybe i will run into another owner. There were only of 500 of these made, it appears they wer eonly made in 1982 and were discontinued by 1983. Tube amp , 8ohm, 18 watts , 15 inch speaker.
It seems like 400-500$ is a fair price for these due to what i have seen some sell at , hopefully i will be trading a guitar i got for 320$ for it . i use a cheap acoustic half stack for shows 410 cab and 200h head i got for 290$ but i want a tube amp like this for recording my bands CD
here is what they look like

Have one and it's a very nice practice amp.
IMO the Fender EQ is not as verstaile as an Ampeg B-15 for bass though.
It's large for a low powered amp but looks so cool; mine is in the Fender amp book photo.
Also sounds good with guitar with the knobs on 10

I have one too. Cool little amp! I agree with the lack of versatility of the EQ, but it still sounds pretty good. I paid $180.
Sweet glad i found some other owners it sounds about right for what i will be using it for just sitting in my bedroom and being used for guitar and bass practice. Yes the EQ lacks i can see but i dig the tone still and really want to record my CD with it and a P bass
I have one too, great amp! Bought it a month ago for $200 and its in mint condition. Somehow i dont believe only 500 were made cause ive been seen a few of them on ebay and craigslist. Has anyone here gigged with one? it seems like it might be possible in certain situations
mine is pretty clean got it today , i paid 320$ but i have seen them sell for 500$ so i think it was a good price, i plan to gig mine but just in a small coffee shop , i play guitar through mine as well.
