RE: Opinions sought - restore & sell, or just sell?

If you want a pragmatic answer to your question, spend a few months and track a few dozen Ebay bids.

Look at what is being sold, how it is being described and what the closing prices are.

The results will almost always not make practical sense, yet will reveal how old equipment in rat infested Barn-find condition
fetches more interest and dollars than anything that has had work done to it.

The term coined is "un-molested" and using this term improves your chances of a sale.

I did this exercise a few years back and was shocked at the prices being paid for totally rusted and decrepit equipment.

Only proves that humans are less predictable than most mammals.
