The bellows looks in good shape, but we've been told it'd be cost prohibitive to repair

I've already got "pull it out and work on it" projects....

But it's gonna be hung on a wall as decoration, and we'll keep all the parts around, and maybe some day...

I think you should attach the accordion to a bicycle so that it makes reedy chords when you ride, and enjoy the trip.

I'm with Larry. I've been building the tools to make my wood shop for over a year, and my five-year- plan doesn't even have me finishing my tool cabinet. Work on it when you like, and enjoy the trip.

I have a bicycle I've been restoring for four years now. Find a place to store it in between your opportunities to work on it and don't worry about the destination, just enjoy the trip.

How many accordions did the first accordion repairman repair before he was considered an accordion repairman? It sounds like it is going to be a knickknack any way so what's it going to hurt to repair it yourself?
