Hi, Cuz I agree with what you've written. Part of the discussion should be the breakdown between the cost of parts and the cost of labor. Usually labor is a lot more than parts, which is why people usually buy new parts like wippens instead of painstakingly refurbishing the old ones (which I did once, but only once.) If a cheap grand is worth rebuilding at _all_, one would think it was worth at least _adequate_ (if not elegant) parts.
