What Ampeg is this?

A friend sells this Ampeg. It started life as a combo, but it was made into a head years and years ago. When he told me about switches above the controls I thought SVT, but he immedialy told me it is solid state. And if I see the pic it sure is. But what is it? Is it any good? Is it worth a dime?

Thanks!

It looks like an old BT-25 head, but I'm certainly no expert.

EDIT: After closer inspection, I'm wrong...again.

I concur - probably early-mid 1970s because of the round pilot light and polarity switch. Could be a B410 as well, but the model number on the panel looks more like "B 115".

B115, prior to removal and rehousing...
