How old is it? If it's an old one, it may be worth it if it comes with a
motor. If it's a newer one with the motor built in, then no, it's not worth
it.

Too expensive for a boat anchor, besides its bulky.

It's important for the tables to be flat and parallel. It's hard to judge
these things though. A friendly machine shop might flatten the tables for
you for maybe $40 or $50. Replacing the bearings and blades, if needed,
might run another $20 to $30.
