Opinions on Belles 150A?

This came up on a local classified in my area, and although I find it of interest, I have never heard of the brand. Was curious if anyone here had heard of them, or better yet, put ears to them.

Thanks for any input you can provide.

    If it doesn't work out....PM me, I may be...maybe, willing to part with my amp only for a fellow Polkie, although I'd really like to keep it in the mix
