Restoring my Buescher Baritone

So in high school i bought a baritone saxophone to play. I bought it for $250 and used it for 2 years before quitting the band (long story). I am in college now and completely forgot about this sax until recently. Its a Buescher True Tone Baritone. Its silver with gold plated inside of the bell. Serial Number 236***; its in pretty good condition except i think it needs to be repaded. not sure whats wrong with it, but everything above middle C is dramatically out of tune. Needs a decent amount of work, several dings from high school marching band. Do you think its worth reparing?

    Beuscher Tru-Tones are wonderful saxes. Silver plated horns with gold bells have wonderful rich tone. I would say that having it done up by a good tech is well worth it. Do it, you won't regret it.
