Re: Gibson A-4 (1915/1917)—Worth it to repair, or just return?
You will likely have $500-$1,000 in the amount of time the Mandolin looks like it might need. I strongly suggest that you “Get thee to a luthier” and see what an in hand inspection by someone that KNOWS MANDOLINS has to say, some guitar guys speak mandolin but, not all of them understand the different mechanical demands that these 100 year old jewels need to be restored to their best advantage.
Where are you located? Someone here will doubtless be able to tell you where you might find the right person.
