NEED HELP FIGURING OUT AN AMP!!!!!! Guild SL10

So, i ran across a pretty sweet sounding amp at the Fret Shop in Huntsville, AL. The badge on it (bottom right corner of grillcloth) SAYS Guild, and the painted letters (looks stock) on it say SL10 (that's ten, not 1 and the letter o). They want $150 for it, which would normally be a great deal. The only problem is, i can't find ANY information on it, and i can tell there have been some......modifications to it.

It was gray-ish black, white grill-cloth, about 16" tall, maybe 12" wide, 8" speaker with a large-square magnet, power knob doubled as the "strength" knob for the tremolo, the other knobs were loudness, tone, and speed. It's the only amp i've ever seen like this where the chassis was split in two different places. the input, controls and a couple tubes were up top, but the transformers and other tubes were on the bottom with the speaker in the middle. There were two smaller tubes up-top (some random tubes i haven't heard of before), and more random tubes (like 12ab4 or something) down by the transformer. Some of the wiring had been a hack job by someone, as it was that cheap chinese-looking wiring instead of matching the rest which was cloth-wrapped and the soldering looked.....non-professional.

There was also a rectagular-looking hole through the baffle just above the speaker (not through the grill-cloth though) where.....something.....used to be, but i have no clue what.

All in all, it boils down to that it is a GREAT sounding amp. Sounds ALOT like my gibson (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEFwDkkkZtA) only a good bit quieter.

If i thought i could find some info on it, and maybe swap out similar tubes for the random ones, i might go for it.

Any help would be appreciated.
