They didn't look like they were ever used by previous owner. No signs of wear. I have never used the parking/emergency brake and just removed it. In fact I don't think I have ever used the parking brake in the past 20 years on any automatic I have owned. Usually the cables are always rusted to nothing.
I bought new shoes with the idea that mine were messed up. But in taking off the rotors, all was well. The rotors are pretty rusty, so the new shoes will.go on when I put on new rotors.

9C1 Adjustment
As a follow-up, I got the adjustment done tonight and the parking brake works again like it should.

Thanks.
