You really only have a few options with old equipment. If it's vintage or high end, you might be able to sell it for something. If it's the usual garden variety stuff, about all you can do is scrap it or give it away.
I had a old Crown IC-150 preamp and D-150 amp. Now if you read anything about that pair, sound wise it's considered "far less than optimum", still I was able to find a new home for each of them, and the new owners are delighted with them.
Not everyone listens critically, and plenty of people will think it's great.
If it is broken, you can take a chance at fixing it your self. You got nothing to loose, since it is not currently working. Otherwise, scrap it. Yea, I hate to add to the waste stream also, but what other choices so you have?
