No Thanks...Didn't try it once. and was still probably dumb as a newby with great advise from my mentor to stay away from them.... I feel sorry for the sap who buys this thing....Acetone and a match would best suit this PSO. I can just imagne the junk "under the lid!" Where do we draw the line? And she said, "Old Autie Pat's upright means so much to the family. "It was her wedding present back in 190X"..... I've had to "condemn" a few in my career, and saw the tears and heartache...even after the son or daughter put miles of effort into resotring "the finish".... or, in one case a son who thought it cool to paint it 1956 oldsmobile blue!" Wha.the....? It actually looked kinda neat. He did a good job.....but the insides were shot..... Some techs may find this facinating to restore, but most won't. Unless it IS priceless to the family..then STAY AWAY, put a flower on it, bury it, and call it a day after wiping off the owner's tear''s! It's a really hard thing to do, and have done it several times. If it has good ivories, buy it for a 50 bucks, get what ever else is usable and toss the rest.
