Restored vs. Unrestored Player Pianos
By Patrick Boeckstijns 

I have no problem finding restored player pianos that cost a
fortune.  My problem is the opposite.  No one over here wants to sell
an unrestored piano, like a Duo-Art.  They prefer to let them rot in
a shed, because one day (who knows) they may be worth a fortune.

And anyway, the fewer there are left, the higher the value of the
remaining ones.  It's pure speculation.  That's what I was told by
a local dealer.
