This is what I would do: First just make it playable by patching or duck-taping the leaks. If the valves are shot then replace the whole valve section with one from an old sousaphone or something. Play the horn now and then for a year or so and see if you love it enough to spend money on it. I have completed those steps on my old York and am now waiting for a brand new valve section from Germany.
But if you are doing this project just for the money then you will be better off selling it as is at auction after the economy has had time to recover.
