I did one of these many years ago. Try as I might I could not talk the owner 
out of it. If memory serves, she wound up paying me something in excess of 
$1200 to replace elbows, whippen flanges, jacks, damper flanges and levers, as 
well as butt flanges. Lots and lots of work! She could have replaced the piano 
with a used one of similar quality from the dealer I was working for at the 
time for about $800.

Oh well!
