Carlton worth refurbishing?

I was encouraging someone I work with to get back into cycling. He mentioned that he own's a Carlton (a company bought by Raleigh) touring bike with the original Campy components. Frame is Reynolds 531 tubing. I suspect this is a late 60s bike but not sure.

Anyway, are these bikes of any value (beyond enjoying them) such that refurbishing it would be worthwhile? Also, any recommendations for someone to do the job in SF/bay area would be helpful.
