Benelux

I bought a Huffy the other day (posted about it here). Turns out it's actually a late 50's or early 60's Raleigh Sprite, rebadged as a Huffy. Anyway, it's got Benelux components. Are they worth trying to salvage? I'll need to strip them, clean them and then try to piece it all back together again to try to get it working. Is it worth the time, do you think? I know that, from what I've read, they're not the greatest parts but I'd kind of like to keep this bike as original as I can. Any suggestions or tips? Any good web sources for 'restoring' this ol' thing?

Any help or advice is much appreciated.
