Most of the collectors I've seen, talk to, or heard of, build "shelf-queens" and really have no interest to have them in "running condition" and thus have no need for oldschool electronics especially since battery options for them are drying up, and then there's the "vintage crowd" that build them up as runners (as you did) and update the electronics to current stuff and like you don't need the old electronics either - but if you clean the stuff up and list it on eBay you might find the rare guy in search of it, but from what I've seen that stuff doesn't sell unless you're willing to get rid of it for low-budget prices.
