There are some people that specialize in such repairs, famous Z-38 expert Jerry MacNeish might tackle it (but is it worth it) ?

"[email protected]"

His website is throwing a Malwarebytes "trojan" warning so beware of that..

Personally I wouldn't try to cobble those things back to life and run them...
