Hey everyone.

I'm still quite new to the guitar, but I'm already considering buying a new Amp to replace my 10W Starter-Amp, and after looking around, I've seen someone who sells a 1988 Peavey Special 112 with footswitch for around 200€ (all info I've found on it says it is a 160W Amp, which is vastly more than my current Amp). One of my in-laws told me that amplifiers and guitars only get better the older they are, but is this amp really worth the money? I don't know much about the quality-to-price ratio for amps, so that's why I'm asking around for advice. I've got the money to buy it, I just want someone else's opinion on it before I go and buy a bigger amp.

I should probably add that it's a private person selling it and that I'll have to pick it up myself, if that makes a difference.
