Reply to Anyone play with reel to reel?

So I haven't tried making any tracks in a while and I recently got an old all tube reel to reel tape player. It is mono so it is really only good for a single track. It came with 2 old tapes, one of which I transferred to my computer and I plan on doing something with.

My question is is it really worth my time to play with this thing for recording or should I just take it apart for parts? I am sure it needs some new caps and possibly a re-tube.
