You may be able to revive the dead links long enough to salvage the missing content. Also, don't limit yourself to the exact URL. Try trimming the link back to a generic stub (see below) and see what pops up. I've retrieved missing pieces (icons, frames, etc.) from neighboring pages to fill in the gaps in my target page. Good luck.
