Do you guys think it's worth bidding on stuff like this or are they more than likely just old dead crap?

I saw those and considered bidding on them, but I think you need to make a definite highest bid in your mind. I wouldn't want to pay much for them myself, knowing that they may not work.
There is no guarantee that they will, you would probably find maybe one does.
I decided not to bid as I wouldn't want to spend more than $25-30 per box myself. (Maybe I'm a bit cheap, but I hate buying stuff that possibly doesn't work at all)
Its a risk you take I guess.

I know that guy.
I was just talking to him on the phone.
Forgot to ask why he is selling them.
I don't have time to fix old boards anymore otherwise I would have a bid or 3.
Some good boards in the mix though.

I would assume none of them work. In that situation you have to assume they don't and pay accordingly.

A similar thing came up on ebay in the UK within the last, 100 arcade game boards been stored in a garage since the 80,s unable to test and cant be bothered to go through and name them all :o there was some classics listed though think it ended 400 UK pounds was quiet surprised

Nah, at only a couple bucks (pounds) each, it's a safe bid for the parts alone.
