I was called out on one of those about 15 or 20 years ago by a HS classmate
of mine, I think if memory serves, it was in the house when he bought it,
in the basement of course. It was a spinet, again if I'm recalling
correctly & the tuning pins seemed awfully loose. He had no one that played
& he was wondering if there was any value to it, I couldn't find anyone
interested in it at the time & I believe it ended up in the landfill.
My point is that unless someone wanted to restore it as a museum piece the
cost of restoration would probably out weigh any interest as a conversation
piece.
