Yes. Here are a couple ideas:

1) If you get all that stuff, clean and oil it, then get it working again, 
you really will know what you have and how to make it run.

2) Different people have different objectives. For instance:
  A) Have fun working on old equipment
  B) Operate the stuff
  C) Help other folks get their stuff running

If your priority is B only, then don't get that junk
If your proiroty is B but you are willing to do A, then by all means, don't 
pass it up.

Later, you can do C.  Other folks here do a lot of C, and that is good.

By the way, that thing in picuture 6 may be a kind of monotor or terminal 
unit made by the Technical Materiel Corporation. If it is, I might want to 
trade you for something more immediately useful to you.

  My opinion?  Don't ever turn down a pile of junk. Actually it's Junque, 
it just looks like junk.
