I'm wondering if any of you can help me determine the date and quality of a used Silvertone mandolin I bought on Craigslist. The only numbers (stamps) I can see inside are F41 and 618H379. I took it to a local Guitar Center and the person there told me it has a solid wood top. It has two hairline cracks on either end of one of the f-holes and I'm trying to decide if it's worth repairing or if I should resell and take a loss if I paid too much. Purchase price was $75. My husband is pretty handy and has done some guitar repairs before so most likely we could put in cleats, new bridge, etc if needed and save money on the repairs. Thanks for any assistance you can give me on this decision!
