From the pictures it appears to be in pretty good shape. I'm not an expert but I'd say that with a run-of-the-mill pickup, most Japanese guitars of that quality from that period would go in the $150-250 range. I think the Zenons are a little more rare and a little more unique, which might add $50-100 bucks to the price.
The gold foil pickups are considered highly desirable by some and go for as much as $100 by themselves so consider that when determining value.
EDIT: there are a couple Zen-ons on eBay in completed listings with two gold foil pickups, one with an amp, neither of which went for much more than $200. So my value estimates would appear to be high. Maybe it's the new economy...
I've never heard of that amp brand. Is it tube? Does it work? Made where? What size is the speaker? Has it had any kind of work done recently, e.g., to replace electrolytic capacitors which may have gone bad over time?
