If they are not broken or failing in their suspension, there is certainly an analog fan out there who would love to have one or both of these.

Condition is everything in this case. If defective, the cost to recondition to new may make them a less than worthy investment. More information is needed to venture a guess as to current value.
There is a Dynavector for sale here at Audiogon for $275.00. I don't know how that model stacks up against yours, but it is a starting point.

As old as yours is you may have to play it to be certain you have a good working piece. Only other option is sell to a person who you can trust and give them a week (or other time period) to try the cartridge out to be sure performance is good. Selling used cartridges is difficult at best, I am struggling for ideas that would be fair to all concerned.
