What the heck do you send this now for? I just took a sledge hammer to a massive 1893 Knabe upright! I tossed the action, I still have the plate, case panels, and maybe the keys. I think I have the keybed. I also saved the transition bridge and most all the hardware! You say it had rocker capstans? I don't remember that - I think mine are modern. If you are missing these pieces, maybe it is time to modernize? Does yours have wooden action frames? I'll need a picture of the top front panel and exact dimensions (do you have the old one?). If you don't have the old one, some other picture that shows the design style - I'm not sure what an "Eastlake" or "Egyptian-like" fan pattern is. This design clearly appeared to me to be well worth rebuilding from a musical standpoint. Let's see if I can help you.
