The ZPA0.3 was a very powerful amp.
stable to low impedences able to run high current mode and produce alot of power.
They stopped making amps like that when they design philisophy changed.
But PG still makes quality amps to this day.
as for price, check ebay, they always have one for sale.
Those amps are old now though.
If this was a few yrs back I would still consider using one, but now I would not.
Those amps usually get used at low impedences and this shortens their lifespan. I have come across a few ZP that are dead or on their las leg. Some still work great. All depends how it was used, but usually people will drive that sucker as low as they can go on the impedence to get the most power out of it.
The amp is also very current hungry since it can run high current to produce alot of power. Not a very effecient amp, but given all the current it needs, it will power alot stuff.
Hope that was helpful.

If you decide to sell it you'd probably get maybe 200-300 tops. It depends on the condition of the amp especially since the components inside are viewable through the plexi glass. A lot of times these amps short ciruit due to the plexiglass being removed and debri falling in. Always make sure the plexi glass is on when running the amp. If the plexi-glass is cracked, broken, or even scratched contact the warranty dept @PG to order a new one. It should run about 10-15 bucks tops. Hope that helps.
