So there are quite a few layers of paint covering the usual scrapes and gouges from load-in/load-out.  It'll take some doing. It's also footless, which is frustrating.  But it does play pretty well, though it'll better when I give it the standard tuneup.  Even in it's current state, it's far more encouraging than my old EMI.  At least the keys are straight.
