We had a thread about this a few years back, I guess......   

I own a New York Weber upright, circa 1885-1888. (records from that time do not have a specific date) My parents bought it for me as a youngin for 75 bucks, as the old owners were just wanting to get rid of it because they had a new one coming.

Even though its seen better days, I don't think I could part with it. It will see a restoration when I have the money to have it properly done.

I'll have to go looking for it, but there was a thread about restoring pianos, never did find out how it went for whomever said they were having it done.

Anyways, once i find it, i'll link it.
