1949 Levin Model 41 $895
Kentucky KM $499
Eastman MD 305 $479
Eastman MD 505 $699
or
shop at the $2-3k level
and hope to find some who needs to
sell and try to get them down
to, say $1500.
What is a good strategy?

You could get a lifetime flattop mandolin for less than your $1000 budget and a lifetime archtop if you could stretch to that $1500 number.
