I've found that one of the most significant impediments to refactoring that old code, or in fact, messing with it at all, is that it's still working well enough to apply the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" rule. Also, it can be a daunting, and potentially expensive, task to assess the costs of making any changes.
