If the price is right, I'd say "go for it"! What brand/model is it? Assuming you have a place to rebuild it, you could replace the damaged wiring one at a time without having to find out what each wire does (its function). If you do all this and then find that the electronics (drivers, etc.) have been damaged, you can go then go the gecko (or rutex)/mach 2 route.
