1974 Legnano

A childhood friend bought this new in 1974; since then, he has "gone carbon" and has no need, nor wants, a vintage steel bike -- so it has been sitting in a basement for years. This Legnano came all-Campy except the brakes (I seem to think Universal, but I am waiting for a confirming photo). Size is, I think, 63cm (again, awaiting confirmation). Condition is a bit more rough than I feared -- see photos. Originally the metallic slime-green, some idiot (yeah, it was me) repainted it in lime green Iron sometime in the 1980's. The front wheel has quite a few broken spokes; he is wondering if it economically worthwhile to have the front wheel re-done professionally prior to sale. To my eye, too nice to become a "parts bike" but restoration would be a significant project... attractive to a Legnano enthusiast? So, as the sub-forum says: "What's it worth?"
