The out of pocket cost of restringing a piano is about $250. Add in a pin 
block, and you're up to about $350. The cost of welding a plate is going to 
run in the neighborhood of $350 - $500. So now we're up to $800. That doesn't 
even include your labor. So ask yourself this question. Can you sell the 
piano for enough money to not only pay for the parts, but also your labor?  
If it was up to me, I would say no.
