are these worth anything?

In moving some boxes around in my shop, I found a box of 2 bolt starters (6 of them) left over from decades of Elan ownership. Since I bought into gear reduction starters in the '80s, I've no use for these. Does anyone rebuild these or have any use for them? While some of them may work, and all have the inertia drive, they are really best described as "cores". Unfortunately they are heavy and therefore a PITA to pack and expensive to ship.

Might be worth contacting a rebuilder.
Mini, Lotus parts people as well, as I think they should be worth something. And there is zero stock with any rebuilders.

They can be shipped economically, in a meduim size Priority flat rate box. You can probably get two in a
box but the box needs to be totally covered in strong clear packing tape. That's about $15 shipping.
Be sure to put SOME protection in the box.
