Can it be rebuilt? Can I tell a customer her great grandchildren may very well play on it? How many decades will the speaker cones last? In 40 years can you buy parts for it...processor board, for example? We purchased some Baldwin Pianovelles for our piano lab about 9 years ago. The processor board on one of them failed and we had to throw the thing away. We couldn't get parts. $20,000? I'm sure some suckers will fall for it. It, too, will be a "throwaway" like the vast majority of electronic keyboards are these days. Joy!
