Used Book in Good Condition
As an old house lover (and fellow old house owner), I'm begging you to please restore those windows! It can be done!
I'm making this response extra long and detailed since this question comes up from time to time. Hopefully it can be a resource for others.
But I say this as a guy who bought a real wreck of a house where the previous owner had let everything go. We needed to fix all 45 openings at once as part of a major rehab, and after 6 weeks of effort, about $3000 of experimentation (including taking a week off work and hiring two people to help me), I finally gave up and put in vinyl windows. It completely broke my heart, and my house is uglier because of it. But sometimes, an old window is just too far gone to save. But in that process I learned a lot and I'd like to share a few things.
OK, on to your questions.
