I came across an old RCA film projector and pulled this little tube amp out. It appears to be about 20 watts. The question is what shall I use it for?
What is the feasibility of converting it into a mic pre?

It's probably cathode biased, and more like 8-10W. Agreed, guitar amp. Not a good piece to consider for preamp use, but you can stick any old mic to grid transformer on the front end, load the output transformer resistively, and feed that to a recorder and find out. Practically not a mod at all.
