240 Watt SS Risson amp head ??

I have a chance to pick up a Risson Solid State head from a guy but I don't know much about them as far as reliability or value....Anyone ever had one of these.

He thinks it's from the late 60's to early 70's

Any opinions will be helpful...Thanks

Back in the early '80's,a local rock band had a guitarist that gigged with a Gibson SG through a Risson solid state halfstack.The setup gave up some real volume and had some serious gain,sustain and harmonic content.I do remember being quite impressed by his overdriven tones.

Great amps!!! Not familiar with the solid state stuff but had a tube head back in the day that sounded great!!!!

Bob was pretty well known in the OC in the 80's. He modded a Fender Bassman for me back in the day, and made an amp for my buddy. Cool guy, great amps.
