I've never heard tell of that company.
From the looks of the pics on the listing, I'd imagine it'd probably sound along the lines of a Peavey Classic 20. Two 12A*7 preamps, two EL84's, and then a third tube which looks to be either another EL84 for whatever purpose, or possibly a mini-pinned rectifier tube like a 6X4. I'd put her anywhere between 15 and 25 watts, just depending on what that third tube is off to the side.
I'd say it could have harp-potential depending on its curent condition. Only a thorough inspection and play through will tell for sure.

Carl, that amp looks like its going to need some work.
Take it from someone that learned the hard way.
Buy an amp that is known to be good for harp, and one that doesn't need costly repairs.
There's enough good people on this forum selling great harp amps, and you will know what your getting.
If your looking for a low wattage bedroom amp for cheap, I would recommend a Harmony 410 or 410A with the 6BQ5 and a 10" speaker, Tremolo, great little harp amp, very Champ like. I've owned two, and besides tubes, there very low maintenance. There was one recently on ebay for $150 that didn't sell, and one sold for $66. Another good one is a Multvox 45 or Combo Bass, cheap and low maint.
If $$ isn't an issue there's many good choices out there

Thanks for responding to the post. I think your right about the amp needing work/repair etc. I was more intrigued about the amp because I couldn't find much, if any info on it.
Thanks again!
