I would buy new tracks with out guides as have nos 1944 dated tracks stored out side,heavy cracks in rubber but guides are good unworn as long as new tracks are able to accept oringal guides.
But as with all things depends on price.

Keep in mind there are 2 styles I know of on the guides. One style will work on any track, the other will only work on certain track. A raised section of metal where it attaches is for a grove in the track bars. If your track bars don’t have the grove your guides with a raised section won’t fit.

I have milled off this excess metal to make it work before.
