That will be up to you, naturally, but even though it has sentimental value for you, sentiment can be very expensive in this sort of circumstance.
Hope that makes sense.

Yes, I thought this too after sitting down and really looking at it. The bridge has already been repaired once about 10 years ago which was probably the last time it had a new set of strings put on it. So it will almost certainly have to be replaced.
I have a local shop I'm going to take it to, the tech there has done good work on other guitars I have taken him, so I trust his opinion.
I am well aware that sentimental value is the only value that this guitar has, so there's only so much money I'm willing to put in.
