fair price on an old school rockford?

[traksta15 10+ year member]

my buddy has an old rockford amp-i think it's one of the original punch 45's that rockford is duplicating now. He has no idea about any of the history of the amp it was given to him i believe. He's almost positive it works and i will hook it up to make sure. My question is: What's a good price for the "old school" rf amps? I believe these are the ones that are very underrated, am i wrong? What's a good price for it if it's one of the new ones?

i found the model # for it! it's the punch45hd from 90-92. If it still works, what's a fair price for it? Anyone have experience with it? overrated or underrated??

And to answer your other question those amps were underrated like most all quality amps of the day.

I paid $100 for a 45 (pre HD) BNIB. I thought it was rare to find one that had never seen power, thats why I got it.
