Is It Worth Restoring?

I have been looking for my latest restoration/refurbishment project for some time, but I could not find an old machine that captured my interest.
I considered bandsaws, wood lathes, and combination machines. Until an ML10 Myford appeared in my local marketplace, and I bought it on impulse.

Now I'm wondering if I made the right decision. The ML10 is not a woodworking machine at all, and I don't even know how to use it. Restoring it could be a fun and educational project, but is it worth the effort?
