Default 50's EMI amp for possible guitar amp conversion?

Hi All,
I would like to bring this amp back to life albeit repurposed as it has languished far too long unused. I need help though. I haven't been able to find a schematic for it. There are actually two units both with the original 13x8 EMI speakers in large heavy cabinets. Would these make good guitar amps?

That is strange that it has 4 EL84 valves.
I wonder if they are tape recorder amps.

You need to tell us the model number of both the power and pre amps.

The units feature in this thread from a number of years back. Capitol RS100/1 and/2 are the model numbers on the cabinets but I can't see individual model numbers on the pre and power amps. They were originally sold with an EMI tape deck I believe but this was absent when I acquired them.
