I don't know if yours are similar to mine, but I heated the encosure on a hot plate and used a steel spatula to separate the soldered thin plates. Be careful not to destroy any parts. When opening and identifying the components you can make a schematic and build crossover with modern high quality parts. I used low-DCR air inductors, large oil/paper capacitors and the best resistors exactly as the original values. The plug was bypassed by soldering directly to the tags, and the crossover was built into a wooden box and attached in the lower end inside the cabinets. The small IIILZ cabinets are probably best to have them outside. What about stands with the X-overs inside?
Consider bracing/stiffeners inside the cabinets. At that time Tannoy used thin plywood, like in my Corner Lancasters which I burned. Better cabinets were made of 1" solid pine, heavily braced with braces and stiffeners. Internal volume is exactly as the originals.
Good luck!
