Hi group,
I was called to look at a 1928 5'4" Chickering baby grand player piano 
yesterday.  Beautiful case.  Soundboard looks good.  Will need new 
keytops and new strings and refurbishment of the player system.  Didn't 
pull the action (was afraid to break something).  I don't know enough 
about these pianos (i.e. NOTHING!) to give the owners good advice.  
Looking for someone in South Carolina or Georgia who works on these and 
also looking for ballpark values before and after refurbishment.
Thanks,
Chuck Raynor
