The keywork is a ring system.
If you have a chance to purchase it for nothing, then I'd take it for nothing.
If you have to spend money for it, I wouldn't pay for it.
1. You won't get your money back. Lintons are a student model instrument. The bore (shape of the wood inside) is what's most important, and Lintons aren't great.
2. It's 55 years old, and there's probably a dozen other mechanical problems with the pads and silver work, which could easily run $500-$1000 if you want it fixed correctly. It's like accepting a 55 year old car, but also knowing you'll need new gaskets, struts, shocks, tires, plugs, fluids, paint, electrical wiring, etc. etc.
Sorry to be a Debbie Downer, but just want to warn you of your possible investment.
