I'd be inclined to repad it with leather pads. I was given this wooden simple/Albert system one which I assume is still in original condition (but missing its C#/G# key) and it has white leather pads that are stitched in the centres like bassoon pads.

The odd thing with this one is it has a stud pillar under the lower joint F/C touchpiece and a thick cork under the Ab/Eb touch when it would've been better to put the stud pillar under the Ab/Eb touch and use a much thinner key cork. Any form of stopper under the F/C touch is only asking for trouble if that key gets bent as it won't close.
