1867 steinway concert grand with crow's feet

[daniel carlton]

i have a customer with an 1867 steinway concert grand with a crow's feet 
action. i saw the piano for the first time a couple of weeks ago after she 
called me to have it tuned. it's not 100% tunable in it's present condition. 
most of the notes play well enough (i don't see any evidence of verdigris) 
but there are three or four disfunctional kids.
two of the whippens have been upgraded to modern and seem to work as they 
should. the action brackets are made of wood.
i guess my question is whether or not this piano should be or could be 
rebuilt. everything is in farily decent shape considering the age of the 
thing. i realize it's hard to tell without seeing it, so I WILL TAKE SOME 
PICS TOMORROW TO POST.
any thoughts until then?

thanks

daniel carlton
