As long as nothing is broken it should be possible to bring it back into service. Bearings, tires, and guides are all replaceable with after market parts. The rest is just rusted.

Get your TS up and running first ..... then look for something else to do.
How's it coming along?

Hey, Tom; why not just do a simple cleanup, lube, safety check and see how it runs before making a final decision?
If there's nothing seriously wrong with it, and it cuts decently, you could hang on to it until you're ready to upgrade.
Maybe think about new guides and a riser if it works OK.

I don't think I'd want to revive it, but you seem comfortable working on machines. But it won't ever be as good as a more modern saw with the steel bar keeping it very stiff. The big question is what will you be using it for, resawing, cutting shapes, minor cutoff duty, band saw boxes. I love my Laguna fourteen/12, but I have never seen them offered used. If you're going to use it to turn logs into lumber, you need something bigger and stronger than the used saw, plus a decent blade. I just sold a perfectly usable 14 inch Delta with Carter guides and a Kreg fence for $325, no repair needed.
