Nice novelty item- but looks like a VERY entry level bike. A cheap thing for people to try the sport or school's competitions and the like. So don't go thinking it's an old Keirin bike or anything like that. Panasonic did and still does those- but the quality is incomparably better.

Are you planning on a full resto/rebuild?

Honestly it doesn't need a lot of work except some paint touch up. I'm swapping out the wheelset for a less finicky set with sealed hubs. But unfortunately it's one size too small for me so I'll be selling it in a few weeks.
