I have a couple of these tape decks that have been in storage for 10 yrs
or so. They need some attention now to get them working again. I want to
dispose of them, but seems a shame to just dump them. Does anyone
know of anyone in the UK that may be interested in servicing/repairing
these and then selling them?
Thanks.

I have one. It's a mechanical nightmare inside, but it is fun when it works
properly.
However, if the heads are worn, it's game over. You could check your heads and
if
they are good sell them separately, you'll save on shipping hassles.
