Forget old Dura ace hubs. The cassettes for those were unique.
If the exage hubs are in good order I e smooth then yes rebuild. Old hubs of eBay are a minefield. What is described in good order may have cup or cone wear buyer beware.
NOS 7 speed hubs are still available but are mostly for uniglide. 1050 hubs can get got by me fairly cheap but it's ug freehub. I have an xt ug/HG freehub but I don't know if the seals on the 1050 hub fit the xt freehub.
One option is to take the xt m732 hubs I have and reduce the old to 126mm.
Zenith freewheel hubs for 126mm are £40 each.
Lots of option but even with new hubs £200 is all you need to spend. Alot Less if you reuse the old hubs.
Yes it's worth it.
