(it's in the past!) Any suggestions for repair (I don t want to replace the sound-board)?  Yeah, that part of the board is cosmetic anyway. Your biggest issue may be sostenueto adjustment. Take off the lid, clamp a two-by-four down to the top of the board, end-wise along side the rim as close as you can get, and see if the assembly will drop that  4 or 5 mm it seems that is lifted. If so, let it up and squeeze some epoxy in there. and re-clamp. Or not, you know. If it is "solid", and not buzzing, the sos reg can be dealt with.   It doesn t seem to have affected the sound of the piano negatively.  The piano has got a big sound with good sustain, but it s been around the block a few times.  It s a Model SF made in 1920.   Or '56, as you corrected. One of my faves.
