New Used Harmony in need of TLC w/ DIY Questions
I bought a Harmony archtop from Facebook marketplace. It’s in okay shape. Action is not bad. There’s a small crack at the top of the treble side f-hole, and the top is a little sunk in the vicinity of the crack. I want to for sure get some glue in the crack and I would also like to see how difficult it would be to get the top pulled back up. I want to do it myself and I don’t want to pull the back off. What are my best resources for help? I will post some pics later.
How is StewMac about answering questions? I’m thinking of getting a membership.

Congratulations on the new Harmony! What model/year is it?
My fear is that your internal bracing may have broken loose if the top is sunk in very much. Both top braces had broken loose at the neck end on mine. Maybe 'orthoscopic surgery' through the f-holes would be possible on yours. I had to remove the back on mine; the back was mostly loose anyway.

EDIT: Sometimes that ink is really faded. The stamp may just look like a blur, and strong light is needed to read it.
