It’s certainly depressing looking at the battle scars this instrument has been through. Not a looker that’s for sure. I spoke with the seller and he said the middle crack with the jubilee clip has been repaired quite well, but he suspects the top crack has opened up again. He put a strip of adhesive tape over it and it plays fine.

Spoke with several local repair guys and most of them were able to tell me what repairs it would need without looking at it first. One proposed to bind the top crack with a piece of carbon for the estimated cost of $150. Other suggests I fill it with glue and wrap it with electrician tape, since it’s a beater horn now and doesn’t justify the cost it would have required to restore it.

Will let you know how it turns out. Thank you all.
