looks to be solid state...

i'd say grab it if it was tube (which it may be...but it doesn't look like it).

i think it is from the 70s...which if it was tube it could be handwired...

maybe talk them down. it is always fun to have an extra amp around.

maybe you could just shred up the speaker, mic it, and record some sweet floppy bass with it.

Rock was around in the early 80s for 2-3 years. They made a line of compact amps (I think their most powerful was a mere 80 watts), many could be battery powered.

That one is probably a 15 watter based on the power draw of 30 watts. $50 would be an OK price, it's not worth much more than that.
I listened to Hatfield and the North at Rainbow. They were very wonderful and they made my heart a prisoner.

It looks to be pretty poorly constructed and I don't think it's going to be worth much unless you can find somebody that collects these. Even then, from the pictures you've posted, it looks like it been pretty well used. I say save your money for something better.
