I have an opportunity to get a Hardman Peck "Duo/Art" spinet for free.
It's not a Duo-Art, but apparently is a Standard player with both foot
pumper and an electric pump.  The pump fires up and can rewind the
roll but the piano doesn't seem to play.  The piano action will need to
be repaired; there are several sticking keys.  I'm not sure if I need
to replace hammers or not.  It's _way_ out of tune.  (I did mention
this piano was free, right?)

The player mechanism I think is going to need new tubing and the
bellows recovered; they both seem to be dry although I didn't try to
bend any of the tubing or see if the cloth was, say, brittle enough
to stick a finger into!

My question is that since I'll need to pay to move this piano (I need
to put it on the second floor of my house), is it worth it?  How hard
will it be to rebuild this Standard player?  (I've helped my dad repair
a few players when I was a kid, so I know how much work it is.)
