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.
