You have to ask yourself, it's been sitting for 6 or 7 years, are you really going to fix it up? Another thought, put it up for sale and see if you can pull more than $500. I already have many sentimental items, but all of them are of no real dollar value. Photographs, marbles, stamps, etc, etc. Whatever we say ultimately doesn't mean squat. Your still going to have to make that decision. Cecil.........
