Chickering cocked hat advice

Anyone have experience doing major surgery on these? The action 
problems are straightforward but it looks like the piano is built 
like an upright, assembled to the inner rim and bracing with the 
outer rim then being applied over the edge of the plate and the whole 
thing then veneered. Could be a nice antique instrument if I could 
figure a way to get at the soundboard. Or am I just missing something 
totally obvious? wouldn't be the first time. :-)
