Rauland FD150 amp

Does anyone have any experience with this amp?

Note: This is Rauland, not Roland.

I saw one in a pawn shop this afternoon selling for $60.

Specs/info shown on the amp:
> made by the Rauland-Borg Corp (American company well respected for its industrial intercom systems).
> made in Japan.
> solid state - quite light, has handles on front
> 150 watts @ 8 ohms stereo
> 300 watts at 8 ohms bridged mono
> 1/4" and balanced inputs.
> appears very well made

The Rauland-Borg website has no info on this amp. There is one for sale on Craigslist, but no price.

For $60 this looks like a good deal - I would use it to drive 1 or 2 floor monitors.

Your thoughts?
