Taking your tag I would jump in the ring and dive at its feet and throw it
on its back. Mercilessly I would pull its pins out, then grab fresh
bushings and stuff them hard into the  plate holes. Then, I would pound and
pound the new pins into it, yank it up to pitch and push back it into its
corner.  

But then, piano repairs aren't wrestling (pun?) and whether it is
economical for this piano is another thing.
