Original tires, check them carefully, these were quite decent when new. I see at least one original tube too.
Brake blocks are OLD, Kool Stop replacement pads would be the way to go.
I would get one new brake cable and one new shift cable, make the rear cables the front.
The shift cable end is Simplex, smaller than most others, grind the end or drill the lever to accept.
grease the cables where they pass through any housing.
You have been visually warned about the front derailleur body. I have had them just crack while mounted on a bike in storage.
The year of your bike - might have Metric pedal threading, might be 9/16"x 20.
All the bearings could use a new grease servicing, and oil for the freewheel.
Very much appreciate all the tips as well as thoughts on value - thank you! I think I know how I'll be spending the upcoming 3-day holiday weekend....
