M-3: worth restoring?



Hey Hammond-heads!

I'm new to this board, although I've been lurking here for a couple of days.

I recently received an M-3 and Leslie 120 as a sort of hand-me down from a 
relative.  It 
seems to be in good condition, with the following exceptions:

1) the drawbar contacts and key contacts are dirty
2) the vibrato is motor-boating
3) the pedals do not produce notes, just low-frequency noise (simple problem or 
not?)
4) the cabinetry needs a little refinishing

Now, what I need to know is this:

Keeping in mind that I am presently a novice at Hammond technology, is this 
organ worth 
the cost and effort of restoring it?  If so, what would it be worth in full 
operating 
condition?  In operating condition with refinished cabinetry?

I know it's not one of the hippest Hammonds to be discussed here, but it's all 
I've got 
right now....  Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks!
