I just don't understand all this Steinway bashing!
Steinway is on more concert stages than any other piano.
Steinway is requested by more artist than any other piano.
What does that say about the Steinway bashers?

NOT being a Steinway? Like their Kelly plates (non-S&S up until recently); like their Kluge keys (I think that may have changed); like their Mapes bass strings; like their Renner hammers (some years - were there maybe Renner action parts for some years after the Teflon thing?). Whatever. What makes a Steinway a Steinway is a dead killer octave and a sluggish action! (Okay, okay - only some are afflicted with these.....).
Good Grief!!!

As for the Steinway "A" with these parts...that's about as far afield as it can get, to NOT being a Steinway. Not recommended for any resale situation, per most Dealers I know.
