Yeah, the Concert sounds a lot nastier in that video.

Concert Leads were 200 watts at 2 ohms. Roughly 150-160 at 4 ohms.

If it still turns on, the pre-amp out jack on the back should feed a power amp a signal. Try it, post results. Though Concerts are a lot easier to fix than Betas. My buddy's Concert Bass had a pretty fucked power amp (saw way too of a speaker load for wayyyy too long) but $15 in parts and a bench fee later it's running fine now.

Let me know, if no one buys it by then a Beta is at the top of my list of amps that work to get in the family.
