Open it up and inspect it--if it can be cleaned up by light to moderate
honing, there's a good chance an inexpensive rubber kit will do the job.
If it has deep pits, you can either have it bored out and sleeved by an
outfit like White Post restoration, for about $50, or go for a new one (I
would pick the new one if the difference is only $50).
For what it's worth, I've heard and experienced (once out of once) bad
things with master cylinder repair kits from Australia.
