3 year old wallet won't show correlated receive address

[berkanstein]

I've come across a few old wallet.dats from flash drives that will not show any confirmed transactions, balance, or addresses. I can see the transactions on the list, but I can't get any wallet to show the correlating receive address that should be connected. Is there a way to fix?

Has anyone experienced something similar?

Start Bitcoin Core with the -upgradewallet option.

I've tried -repairwallet, -upgradewallet, some other random commands. It doesn't seem to change anything. Could I possibly disassemble the wallet (move privkey) or switch the wallet to a different bitcoin program?

Have you tried -salvagewallet?

You could try pywallet to extract the keys and then import them elsewhere.  Beware of anyone asking for copies of these.

Download an archived older wallet from around the time the wallet.dat is dated (right click properties) and use that to dump the keys via debug console.
