Just obtained a 1950's Dixie, and it has some peeling paint on the back. Should I repaint? Or leave as is?
Restore or not restore?

Photos?? Depends... are you looking for a player or a wall hanger? Aesthetics or function/sound? Are there cracks that may need to be repaired as well? Also depends on whether you'd want to resell at some point. Many hard-core vintage collectors prefer "as-is" aged appearance vs. restoration.

Everything Gmoney said. Find out what it might be worth? Could it possibly be worth $1000's? Then don't mess with it. If it is only ever going to be just an interesting old uke you can restore without fear of destroying the value.

Dixie refinish
Just acquired a 50's Dixie banjolele. Should I refinish, pr repaint the flaking back, or leave as is for collector value?
