Hi Will,
To replace the film wind on lever pressure spring is an easy fix and if thats all thats wrong with it then it shouldn't cost you too much to have it repaired.
I also have a very early version,in fact very close in number to your's 708xxx which i'm presently restoring ,it has as mentioned by Luigi, the double wind on lever,glass pressure plate,with B-1-2-5-10-25-50-100-250-500-1000 speed setting dial.
RF-VF on mine was very dim and out of alignment when i bought it,but now i have it as clear as crystal.
Body wise a little worn but mechanically its almost as good as new, so if your's has never been abused its more the likely a camera very much worth restoring, not only for it's value but as a wonderful user camera.
Best of luck with it.
