Refinish the cue…..restore this cue to its original condition.

They do indeed. The only one I remember not being overly fond of, was a CX series. If my memory serves, it felt "hollow" to me. Could have been just that particular cue. I'd only ever hit with a few Schons...Most of them felt pretty solid.

I think those were made for Cuestix and many players say they didn't play as well as those from Schon directly.
Just something I heard.

The cortland wrap that’s on that old Schon is rare today so I wouldn’t have them replace it

Proficient can clean and press the existing wrap if you choose to refinsih.

I would try to see what that cue sells for in really good shape and see if it's worth the investment

The CX were made for Cuestix, if my memory serves.

once a cue has been messed with a true collector loses some interest.
a shooter may or may not care.

i wouldnt buy a cue some else had refinished. i would want to do that myself if i bought it and decide who i wanted to touch it.

Heck, I was thinking more in terms of retaining the cue as opposed to selling it.

Whatever the value is now, it should only go up from here. There’s a finite number
of original Schon cues and 2nd generation Schons are comparable but not the same
in value, appeal or collectibility. Evan made a great cue but Bob set the height of the bar.

My advice is that you should just sell me that cue as is, it belongs in the hands of a gambler.

I am replacing the bumper, cleaning up the tip and shaft, then will be listing it here for sale. Thanks for all of the feedback and advice.
