Champion classic valves

We recently bought a house which has a lot of deferred maintenance. One of the problems is a number of the sprinkler valves don't work. They are Champion Classic from about 1986.

I've tracked many of the wires back to the sprinkler controller. There is a live set of wires to most of them. Some are currently connected at the valves, some have disconnected wires laying nearby. There is water to all of them. When I open up the bleed valves, I get water at the valve, but none at the sprinklers.

Is there a simple way to test and debug these? I have the funny feeling many of the solenoids don't work.
