I am curious how they died as well and what was done to try to revive them. STI levers can get gunked up with old grease over the years and need to be flushed and re-lubricated and sometimes that can bring them back from the dead. I have done that to a bunch of shifters. One of which I did with some careful lighter work just to see if it would work and by golly it did the shifter is flawless now (aside from scratches and scars from use) However I DO NOT RECOMMEND that method at all.
If you still have them I would love to play around with them and see if I could get them working again.
