On list, or private, as you wish. Thanks. Ron N </BLOCKQUOTE> I brokered the sale of a similar vintage D 2 years ago, (without the Pianodi= sc), for $28,000. We originally asked $45,000, but the buyer argued that it = would cost $6-8,000 to rebuild the action with non Teflon parts. Unless ther= e was something wrong with the soundboard and pin block, I don't know why yo= u would want to replace them. But with a new action, restrung, and new finis= h, considering a new one is about $85,000, I could see asking about $50,000 = for the rebuilt one. Wim </HTML>
