Default Vintage Selmer Cabs & H|H Amp head gear

I'm not sure which part of the forum to post this in exactly, but please move to wherever more relevant if necessary.

This isn't exactly a recording issue, but its related.
I was going through some of my old antique gear in my garage thats now home to numerous spiders to make a list of exactly what I have left.

Quite a long time ago now, a friend gave me a pair of Selmer column speaker cabs.
The only reference to them that I can find is here.
They are almost identical to the ones in the picture except the Selmer logo is on the cloth rather than on a strip at the top and they don't have the prop things at the back.
I think I remember my friend saying they were salvaged from an old cinema.

I have run a 100watt Laney guitar head through these before and from what I remember they sounded nice. However not knowing much about cabs and speakers at the time I probably abused them a little. I think I blew a couple of the cones and so they now only have 2x12 in each rather than 4x12.
This was quite a while back.

Anyway, just wondered if anyone knew anything more about them.
Maybe they're worth a few quid/bucks?

If anything I was considering using the actual speakers (Celestions or Tannoys from what I remember) in a newer cab as I remember these cabs being a bit rattley.
I'll have to dig them out and open them up to find out exactly what the speakers are.
Maybe they'll go nicely in a brand new Buzzbomb cab?

Another old thing I have is a H|H Electronics 100watt Head.
The model number thing has been scratched off but the beginning of the model number is MA100.
I couldn't find much reference to it on the net, maybe someone else knows a bit about them?
It has 6 (I think) inputs on the front each with a volume and reverb level pot.
It glows a nice green when turned on. Solid state with a spring reverb inside.
I used to use it for vocals and as a backup guitar amp.

Thanks for any additional info you can provide, I'll try to post some pics at some point if anyones interested.
