My '52 00-18
Bit of a basket case when I got it, a number of low quality repairs including a huge hole in the lower bout and hadn't been kept in a case so it was super dry. Rehydrated over the course of 2 months or so, and then repaired a cracked top brace and now she sings. Action is a pretty high (~5mm) but doesn't seem to affect intonation too badly. Not a museum piece by any means but I've enjoyed having it!
