Looks like it could be a pretty good deal. https://tricities.craigslist.org/msg...197314318.html

It really depends on its playing condition. Neck and fret issues are not inexpensive.

This would have bar frets and while you can still get bar frets for a guitar the mandolin frets are smaller than what is available. A new fretboard can always make it playable should that be the case.

These also had the pickguard inlaid into the top. Amazingly enough it doesn't look like it's cracked the top yet. Many times they do as the plastic and wood expand and shrink at different rates. That's not a super deal, it's about right. They made that same mandolin (basically) up into the 70's.
