According to a well-known piano builder and restorer with whom I spoke at length about these things, if you are looking for a serious musical instrument and not just a piece of fine furniture, a piano must be rebuilt almost completely after about 75 years. The case and frame can be preserved, but most of the rest must be replaced. Not surprisingly, he works mostly on antique Steinways, and a few Mason & Hamlins. It isn't worth rebuilding most others.
I know a piano collector who owns some superb-looking, ornate Steinways from circa 1900 and earlier. He knows well enough how to do basic repairs and tuning to keep them reasonably playable, and he's a good amateur pianist. But no professional would do a serious concert or recording with them.
