Just be sure when you string it up both limbs bend the same direction.

You can make that thing look new, first get some 0000 steel wool, lightly scrub with the grain of the wood/ fiberglass... then wipe it down with a cleasn rag.  then go to Home Depot and get Poly-wipe.. the part is tricky, you are going to apply the poly wipe on to the bow but it has to be uniformly the lenght of the bow.  What I do is hang the bow on one end. have clean cloth rag  tightly wrapped around something straight like a left over peice of wood (usually a leftover 4" peice of wood form a project), then you apply generously to the cloth soaking it, the you  apply.  After applcation, let it hang dry

Looks like a good deal to me.  My daughter just picked up a flea market bow that was really crudy, stubborn stuff wouldn't come off.  We used citra-solv and it turned out Great (notice the capital "g").  I also use this stuff to clean the rosin build up on my precious violins if that gives you an idea of how much I trust it not to ruin the finish.

Try Scratch Out (mild abrasive that will remove a lot of gunk) after a mild soapy bath.  LOL.   Sweet bow don't worry what you paid shoot the hell out if and enjoy every arrow!

Speaking of arrows, what kind do you plan to shoot out of your new (to you) bow?  I would guess 1716's?
