Moved a PSO

[Matthew Todd]

Okay list,
   
  I moved my first grand (baby) yesterday.  It was indeed a PSO, although, I would like to swap the "S" and "O" in that acronym.  This piano has no name.  It does have a serial number, but no name.  The strings are rusted (six were already broken), pins are rusted, damper felts coming off.  The hammers looked okay.  I will be making a service call soon to give it a complete evaluation and estimate.  The seller was asking $350, but they got it to $300.  I probably wouldn't of spent over $200 for the thing.  I just hope the new owner understands why they got it so "cheap".  I didn't try to depress 'em by telling them they should of consulted me first.  The deal was already done, what can you do?
   
  My real question is, what do you do when you cannot find a brand?  How do you estimate the year, or decade at least?  Do ya'll have customers with these kind of pianos, or am I one of the few that's cursed?  I guess I'm not cursed if I agree to help 'em.
   
  Matthew
