Cam problems aside we don't know what the OP is expecting from the machine once restored.

It's always difficult to answer questions like "is it worth restoring". The answer depends on what the asking price is, what the condition is, how much effort the restorer is prepared to put in, availability of spare parts, how easy the item is to work on and many other things.

It might be better to decide what class of machine is required, what budget is available and work from there.
