I would be wary of trying to get it restored. It actually looks pretty good and I kind of like the way the fin has a funky 70s repair hack. There are a guys who will say the can do restorations that will totally screw it up. Collectors are now trending toward little or no restoration, like car collectors, as in it's only original once. Go over it with a magic eraser and some soap and water and it will look a lot better- keep water away from open dings. Even patching the dings can be problematic because it is really difficult to color match on a board like that. The board is freakin' awesome BTW.

Yes, please do the minimal and be careful who you choose to do it. Have had a few done that went south.

I'll third the 'leave it alone' thing. That is one badass board. The old repairs are a picture in time all on their own.

Mic, that thing is glassed like a tank. You must be charging.
