It takes approximately one watt up to about 6-8 watts.  Its nominal
rated output is 35 watts.  Don't know what a used one goes for nowadays
but last time I checked the Universal Website, they were going in the
$75 dollar range for apparently new ones.  If it's a B-34G, it has a
preamp and they ran about $20 more with the preamp.  I'ld be more
concerned with the output level into a dummy load as measured on a
wattmeter than appearance but then again I've seen good looking gear
that didn't work.
