Check out Frets.com for info on setting intonation (distance from the neck/frets) and fitting the bridge to an arched top. Don't worry if photos show an arch-top guitar, the logic is the same. Beware... It's easy to get sucked into reading most of the site, which should only take a week or so!
Beautiful mandolin. And for $30!! Paid maybe $400 for mine!

Our mistakes weren't quite so easy to undo
But by all those roads, my friend, we've travelled down
I'm a better man for just the knowin' of you."
