If the bike was NOS then it should all be like new short of storage damage/rust.

If this was my bike I'd probably clean up the entire wheelset and sell it off NOS. It'd probably more than finance a newer, better wheelset plus some pocket cash. Heck, if it were my bike I'd be selling everything but the frame and building it back up with all new components so take that with a grain of salt

Unless the OP really wants to keep it stock now is the time to upgrade as his NOS parts aren't going to get any more valuable as he rides them into the ground (and they will go into the ground eventually if he rides them. They aren't going to last like a more convetional freewheel hub will) No point in riding them IMHO when now is the time to sell the parts for maximum value and upgrading.
