Double Bass Unknown Double Bass- HELP

Been there, done that:

duh... 3-string restoration photos

Like statsc, it's been my principle bass for over a dozen years, even though I've had great basses from Upton, Spada etc; I play it almost exclusively now (with plain gut GDA). But...

It wil cost you thousands of dollars and months of repair time. No one can tell you if it's really worth except an up front luthier.
