1973 Buffet R13

My now retired band director is selling his 1973 Buffet R13. The serial number is 133256 and if I'm correct, the horn was put together during the golden age of the Robert Carre R13. The clarinet has a nice warm and round tone and projects very well while having spot on intonation. The key work is a little worn and torn but still functions extremely well (I am getting a complete overhaul if I purchase it). There are no cracks in the wood or tenons. Most pads are still very white with one or two having a bit of discoloration. My real question is, how do the older R13s compare to the newer ones and if I completely overhaul the horn then can it be better than newer R13s?
