Hi,
I am not a repair tech but I had some work done on a few clarinets by two different techs so I can offer you my opinion.
The price of 380AUD does not seem too high for the complete overhaul (comparing to the prices in the US).
However, it would be difficult for me to tell you how to proceed because I cannot see/play your clarinet.
Is there play in the keys? Do some of the keys need swedging?
What condition are the tone holes? Do some of them need resurfacing?
Are there any loose posts?
Also, the quote says that tenon corks are good and fit well. Were they ever changed? IMHO, if you go for a complete overhaul, why not change tenon corks too?
Did you have any prior experience with the tech?
Ycl-62 goes for 700+ USD on the action site.
If the keys/ metal and tone holes are in good condition, there are no lose posts or other serious problems, I personally would be inclined to go for the more economical option of 150 AUD.
My 2p
