Flashes archaic bullshit

I have these two older flashes. Neither work.

Minolta was thrifted without testing for like $10.

277T speedlite came with an old Canon T70 I received as a hand-me-down.

Do these older flashes just die? Feel like I've tried most of the usual hacks to get it back. Left it on for a few hours to recharge capacitors, cleaned the contacts. Opened up the Minolta and thought I was gonna die from discharge so closed it right back up.

Minolta charges up and makes sound but never fires, 277T doesn't even charge up.

Any other hairbrained ideas to get these working?
