RE: URGENT NEED HELP
What info do you need?
Looks like it's got steel cables so be sure you don't put any of the "no creep" strings on it our you'll tear the anchors off the ends of the cable; stick with Dacron strings. It also looks like it had a "No Glove" on it that was pushed out of the way when it was converted to a string loop for release shooting. To be safe, I'd just replace the old string and get it set up right. Don't expect it to be a scream machine; it's an Edsel in a world of Porsches, but it'll still kill deer just as dead now as it did back in the 80's. Good luck.

I couldn't even begin to tell you how old that bow is. They have no record of it because when that bow was made, Indian Archery produced XI bows. XI has been out of business for quite a few years now....
That riser is wood, yes? And the limbs? I bet that rascal is 20+ years old.
