While I appreciate your dilemma, and I would be the first to tell you to junk 
the thing, (more on that later), but you have to do what you think is best. 
What does your gut instinct tell you? Take the emotional out of the picture, 
and treat yourself like a customer. Ask yourself, if this was a customer's 
piano, what would you recommend. 

As I have stated many times on the list, for the most part, uprights that are 
approaching, or are beyond 75 years, are nothing more than a piece of 
furniture on which to put pictures, weights a ton, and takes up 15 square 
feet of floor space. If you have spare time to waste, and have the extra 
money to throw away, then maybe you can rebuild the thing. 

Bottom line, take your own advice.
