This Streamer (no. 99 actually...can be seen clearly on the back of the headstock) has undergone a "rebirth". I like my instruments as I like my women...naked :)).

Reviving an old thread... I own #149. Didn't know what I had until doing some research today and coming across this post. Bought this on eBay in '01 or '02 and thought I might have overpaid but turns out that I just about stole it. Though it wasn't maintained great and as you can see, a previous owner swapped out the tuners at one point leaving some holes. But the originals are back on and as far as I can tell, everything else is original also. (Hopefully the image links work!)

You need to use an image hosting service like tinypic so we can admire this fine instrument through a pic or two. Welcome to the forum!
 
Special thingy you have there. The tuners at the original position are almost anti-ergonomic. :-)

If I owned that bass there would be some restoration/freshening up for sure.

I just did some freshening on a neglected 25-yr old Ibanez guitar, including installing new pickups, which was my first ever instrument restoration project, so it looks like it's time to learn some more and make this my 2nd. :-)

Light sandpaper works wonders, then you can apply a finish of some kind. There's one difficult sanding area in your case: the neck joint that is neck through. For the headstock you can have a look here:
