  Are you offering those up in return for something?  I
have an RA82
 here in the Seattle area that I have never been able to get to spin up
 or do anything at all.  I haven't been able to get anything out of the
 diagnostic port.  I have found the RA81 service manual online, but not
 the RA82 service manual.  It would be interesting to get it working
 just to see it working. 
As far as I can remember or figure out, there is very little, if any 
differences between an RA81 and an RA82, so the service manual for the 
RA81 should work just fine.

I hope you have removed the transport safeties if you try to spin it up.

The diagnostics port is 300 bps, if I remember right. Hitting something 
like ^C should get its attention. You might also want/need to have both 
port selector buttons off to be allowed to play on the diagnostics port.
I would think the details were in the service manual.
