For any repairs, it is necessary to inspect the instrument. Only then I can provide detailed advice and give a realistic assessment of the cost-benefit ratio. Practically any damage can be repaired. The question is often only whether it is worthwhile for the respective instrument.
I would be happy to provide you with a cost estimate including material costs before each repair.
