As is common on round backs this mandolin has no truss rod. There is one key for the case. I have tuned it and it plays fine. I have tested that all the tuning pegs turn freely. I would buy new light weight strings as the current strings must be at least 25 years old.

The strings need replacing and the neck is coming away from the body as shown in the pictures. It still feels quite sturdy but will probably need repairing before being restrung. One of the tuning knobs is missing.
