Just got a Yamaha PE-200A TS-200 combo

Today at my preferred pawn shop I got a pristine Yamaha PE-200A / TS-200 combo. Sound is crisp and powerful. Does anyone know more about this (TS-200) amp/speaker cabinet? It looks to be so scarce! Thanks! :)

I was looking at the effects that David Gilmour uses on this site ( https://equipboard.com/pros/david-gilmour/mxr-digital-delay ), and noticed in one of the photos he was using a Yamaha preamp head which I happen to own, is quite rare, and unmistakeable.

MUFFS 'N' MUTES

BOOTSY'S RIG is far from simple. "On the pedalboard I've got all the old stuff: three Mutrons, one Big Muff, a Yamaha distortion, an old rackmount digital MXR, the small Boss DD-3. I've got a few new Digi-Techs for rackmount: the Time Machine 4000, the Smartshift Bass Harmonizer, a stereo Rat, an FX-500B. I'm using Roland Space Echo — of course. I've only got two Electro-Harmonix Bass-micro synths left, and I can't find no more. At least I've got a million Mutrons and Big Muffs!

"My amps are the QSC 4000: They run my two sets of subwoofers, which are four 18"s in each cabinet. On the mids I've got four cabinets, each with two 15"s, two 12"s and a horn; the highs are four 12"s and a horn. All my speakers are Celestions. The amps running the mids and highs are two Yamaha 2000As and one QSC 4000. I'm still going with three old Alembic preamps, which gives me that warm, clean sound; they're running my highs, mids and lows. I use that for the Bootsy Rubber Band; for Deee-Lite I lighten up. Oh yeah — always the Space Bass. But I'm starting to get into five- and six-string basses, and even fretless, since I've been working with Bill Laswell."
