<p>[QUOTE="Danno, post: 254367, member: 4548"]Good idea! I tried a couple of indirect approaches. A major dealer offered me $2000 and I took it to an antiques roadshow where it was appraised at $8000 after which I offered to sell it to him! Getting an answer to my restoration question though was not so easy. Baumann refused to respond to my inquiry once I decided against selling. The spline is very secure so I am leaning, as you are, against restoring the tear. I just thought that there may be someone in the group with expertise in this space. Perhaps, I should try an antique book forum. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for the esteemed input. I was trying to avoid spending any extra $ but to your point, it may worth it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
