Any luck at the other shop? Biggest issues (other than any cracks) would be the braking surface wear and the area (not sure how to put this) right at the edge of the wheel where one might damage the rim by hitting a pot hole or curb.
I'm not really familiar with Zipps that old, so I'm not sure if there were any issues back then.
