Your make is Pan American. Makers typically offer several models. Each model has different features (e.g., number of keys) & materials (wood & plastic).
You may want to look at Fox oboes ( http://www.foxproducts.com/pages/oboe_main.asp ), which are very nice, to get an idea of the features of different models.
Hard to say without seeing your oboe whether or not it’s worth paying $400 to repair. I’d guess that an old Pan American is not worth spending $400 to fix. Can you get a second opinion from a music teacher or another repair person?
I tend to think you either need a replacement oboe now, or will in the near future. This is especially true if you oboe doesn’t have the left hand F key, & of lesser importance a low Bb & split D. So, now may be a good time to get a better oboe, or play the Pan American, as is, until it’s unplayable.
