stringing

List,

I am about to replace all of the bass strings(42 of them) in a 100 year old 
Story and Clark upright.  The old ones were steel wound and quite tubby.  
I've done many individual string repairs, but never a whole set of strings or 
bass strings.  In the interests of saving money and time, I was thinking of 
using the old tuning pins.  I suspect that this is probably not the greatest 
idea, but the pinblock seems remarkably tight.  

Will anybody on this list admit to having done this before?  Should I bite 
the bullet and get new pins?  The piano is going from CA to Idaho to a family 
cabin where it will be played infrequently, but I do want to do good work.

Thanks in advance, 

Dave Stahl(radiation suit on....:-)
