I have this old Bogen head that I got in the early 80's. It was used for many years as the PA for local business until they closed their doors. Its a 2x5881 power section and still functions perfectly. Anybody familiar with these amps?

It's so ugly its kinda cool looking and I would love to build it into a guitar amp if possible...either as a home project or as a mod done by a pro. Any help would be appreciated.

Here's a pic (not mine but same thing):

Pretty sure that is the same platform that was used for my Bogen vplexi from Voodoo Amps. The transformers are good in those amps. As for turning it into a guitar amp, you'd probably have to gut it and start from scratch would be my guess.
