Yep - I hear you completely. The seller still has the joint, so I'm going to take it... he may also have a lower - if it's for a similar price, I'll take it as well.
I had forgotten about the hand fitting of the keywork... Now - does that mean I'm not going to be a complete masochist and give it a try anyways? lol...
And as to time and money... I've thrown so much money at projects in the past... just for the fun of it. If I was to truly look at "hobbies" from a financial standpoint, I'd run away screaming...
It's never about the money for me, it's about the journey. I've also restored some guitars, High end vintage speakers (I once replaced the voice coils on a set of Magnepan's - that was a serious nightmare), firearms, Lionel Trains, etc.... I'm a tinkerer.. It's just what I do.
For me its more of a - "Is it theoretically possible, outside of casting my own keywork, to make a nice playing instrument?" Question.. If it takes a year or two and a few hundred here, a few hundred there... as long as I had fun - its all good!
