Yes.  If all the parts, dampers, levers, butts, hammers are
in decent shape you might consider replacing the double
flanges and lubricating the wippen flanges.  That stuff
cannot be removed but for a few months.  It is like the cat
that came back.

Trouble?  Aligning dampers, hammers and regulation.  If you
are a truly experienced technician it can be done.  If you
are not that experienced you will likely never get out of
it.  Those old parts are fragile and break when you look at
them.  Fix one and two break.  If you replace all the action
parts, butts, hammers, damper levers and wippens you could
end up with an astonishingly fabulous piano but replacing
S&S upright parts is a real bear.  There are folks out there
that have had a lot of experience with these pianos.  

You are opening a humongous can of worms.

But if you worms with your spigetti then have at it!
