> It will cost around $2000 to $3000 to fix.  Is it worth it?

Rick,  That's a tough one.  I would think it would depend upon
the case and how "authentic" the unit looks.  $3,000 seems kinda
cheap for a pinblock transplant, as it usually also involves
refurbishing the entire piano.  After all, once you are that deep
into the piano it doesn't make sense not to correct anything the work
uncovers (and believe me, you will find stuff not noticed before).

So, at least in my opinion, these don't really have any "antique"
value, just enjoyment value.  And I'm not trying to downplay the
enjoyment value, as that's where most of the fun is!
