Well first off there's a lot of ways that it could not work, but for 5 bucks you got a really great deal!!

In these what we call metal face type amps the little lamps in both blue face plate switches go bad and if both of them are out then some people think that the amp is fully dead .

This is because they turn it on with no speaker hooked up so they hear no sound and see no lights come on!

These switches themselves crack internally and then you can't even turn the amp on if you wanted to.

If you slid the amp out of its cabinet and takethe lid off the chassis and find a blown fuse then the amp has a driver/ output stage problem and will need to be taken to a good tech who is familiar with solid state amp , not a modern day tube changer!
