Speaking of replacing the lead tubing. I bought reducing nipples the first time, but after that I just got some brass tubing from a hobby shop, cut it to size and glued it in. Worked fine. I might have drilled the holes larger. Mind gets 'fuzzy' after a while.

On a Hobart Cable, that the customer said they rescued from an old barn, had some sort of nut shells and mice nests - nestled - in the piano and player action. BTW, This is way you should ALWAYS replace lead tubing - look at the white powder and the lining of the tubing.
