You might want to look into the Renner underlever kit. According to my
1997 price list, cost is $395.00.  Still a lot of money, but cheeper
than Steinway. The quality of this kit is reputed to be outstanding. 

Renner's is at:
P.O. Box 1223 Weston CT  06883
(203) 221-7500

I am assuming that this is the earlier Steinway type in which the
flanges are glued to the rail?  Otherwise if it is the screwed type you
could always replace the set of underlevers only without replacing the
rail and tray. I don't see it in my catalog, but I am 99% certain that
Renner sells individual underlevers as well.
