Spares or repairs?

I have bought a bunch of arcade pcb's, all pretty old and some of them not in the best state. About half of them are from the beginning of the arcade period and some of them from around the 80's.

I have a few that I am wondering about if they are worth repairing or if it's better to use them for spare parts. If I repair them it will take quite a bit of work and at the moment I don't even know what games some are because of the proms that I don't know how to read.

This 1st board has 74s4747 proms, can I build an adapter to read them in a tl866 so I can identify the board.

Here's some pictures, let me know what you think, it's a zaccaria board with a 6502 cpu. I gave it a good wash (still a bit filthy though).

I have been looking online, and I think it might be "circus".

Not the best looking game but I guess that's the best they could make in the beginning of arcades. It's sort of a pong game with stick figures.

Guess not worth saving for gameplay, but considering there may not be many that have survived, I kinda don't wanna destroy it for parts....

Definitely looks like an Exidy PCB, this is one I used to have, Crash. Sold it on e-bay, buyer was in Japan, can't recall how much it went for, around £50 I seem to remember about 3 or so years ago.
