Rebush (or elect someone else?)

YES !!

Ream aggressively and work in a good deal of Teflon powder.  Course you 
have to allow for bigger then what you'd usually accept diameters in 
centers... but its very workable if you need a cost effective solution.

    Got a 1916 Steinway upright that's definitely an oldie but moldy --
    all flanges practically seized up with mold in the bushings. Rather
    than rebushing everything or replacing the flanges (super
    expensive!), has anyone had success just reaming and repinning?

    BTW previous tech(s) had put large lead weights near the back of all
    the keysticks (2-ouncers, I'd guess) AND screwed jiffy leads to most
    of the stickers! Must have played like a Mack truck .... with its
    power steering broken ...... and both front tires flat .... on a
    sand dune!
