Default HeathKit Tube Amp

My friend gave my this HeathKit Tube amp yesterday. I know nothing about it. Anyone here ever used these things? I believe its used for a stereo amp, but I was curious if this could be used as a low wattage tube guitar amp for recording.

Do you have a model number? You might be able to find a manual here:

You'll have to change the amp's input impedance or use a DI box, but ultimately, yes, you could use it as a low-watt guitar amp. The first Sunn guitar amps were essentially nothing but Dynaco amplifiers modified to be used with a guitar.

Also, it goes without saying that you'll have to change the RCA inputs to 1/4". You'll want to use two speakers of course, one for each output transformer.
