The main value for such items is in the scrap metal. Those old microwave
horns were quite heavy and made of aluminum and the transmission lines were
all
copper if my recollection is correct.
You might want to estimate the scrap metal value and compare that to your
time and expense to recover the metal.
Big and heavy stuff; do be careful!

You're going to spend tons more to get the stuff off the tower than
anything you might get for the stuff. I'm not aware of any market for used
microwave horns or associated hardware.
