I would consider taking some $$$ off so new owner could have Jack make a new top.
It is now up on Ebay:

So, if someone is considering the case PM me before it goes bye-bye on Ebay.
Thanks,

Both shafts are a hair over 13 mm, ivory ferrules

Cue is straight and in beautiful condition, needs no work.
