P.S. At this point in time, there is no such thing as
an unrestored player needing "SOME work"!  For a
reproducing piano, count on 3-500 hrs, and $$$$$$$$$$$
in parts depending on how fussy you are. If you
attempt to patch  a few bellows and replace a few
tubes without doing the WHOLE thing ( pouches, valves,
all bellows, striker pneumatics, tubing, etc. etc. you
will land in a real nightmare with a VERY unhappy
customer who will end up paying double to an
experienced specialist in the future, and hate you
forever!!!
     Beware!!!!
