With amps this old it largely comes down to their condition internally. Even if the exterior looks great, ~50 years is old enough for there to be a decent chance that the capacitors inside will be significantly degraded, and you might end up with distortion or a channel imbalance or some other issue. So don’t buy it unless you can test it first. Getting an amp restored/recapped can be done, but it can be costly if you aren’t able to do it yourself.
Assuming it’s in full working order, be aware that with an original rating of only 13 watts and some speakers that are quite small, your volume will be limited. This combo would not rock the house in a medium to large room. For a smaller space or lower listening levels it would be fine, but whenever you start to push higher volumes, pay close attention to the sound. If you hear anything sounding wrong, like any artifacts that sound like fuzz or popping or tearing during the loud parts of music, you need to back off on the volume ASAP to avoid damaging your speakers.
