Rebuilding old uprights

[Hechler Family]

I watched the past threads on this subject with great interest since 
most of my business, however very slow right now, deals with uprights - 
old and new.

Anyway, I recently purchased an old Story & Clark player piano - 1917 - 
that I'm rebuilding for myself. Last night  I went over the piano action 
and, to my amazement, it was in incredible shape - not one broken part 
and the dampers are still good. Of course, the bridle straps need 
replacing and the hammers need shaping but thats it.

This one must have been well taken care of.

So, I guess my point is that there are still old uprights, however few 
and far between, that are worth saving and rebuilding.
