What’s even sadder is that piano could likely have been saved with a simple CA treatment to the pins. The cabinet was nice, the key tops good and level, didn’t sound too bad.

Hard to believe the cast-iron plate would shred, although they are brittle.  Hope they pull the metal out with a(n) (electro-)magnet and at least recycle that.  Sad to see a lot of these pianos go, but then to rebuild most of them is not profitable unless they a) don't need refinishing, b) don't need a new soundboard and, preferably, c) don't also need a new pinblock, which is rare.  Oh, you can do all of the above, but then you have to sell it for about the price of a new one in order to make any money.
