Hi Jean-Jaques, There a couple of big companys in Poland (which im sure you already know) that do all sorts of action replacing/conversion work. SAP Renovation and Piano-Fiks are the ones i know. They are more like factories than workshops! I think Pianova in Germany might also this type of work. Though i don't know if it will be easy to get in touch with someone in these companys that can give any advice on that...
