Should I replace my ADF?

The Lucky Strike came with an ADF. The previous owner said he used it to listen to ball games, but it certainly doesn't point to anything. I am going to use the aircraft as an IFR trainer in the Spring.

My thinking is that I could replace the ADF with a working unit for not a lot of money. I'd rather put in an IFR GPS, but I don't see that in the cards for the foreseeable future. The things are pricey, and installation costs are tantamount to getting raped up the six.

I'm told ADF approaches are rare on the ground, but my airport has one as does my nearest neighbor. Could come in handy in a pinch.

Thoughts?
