> Can anybody suggest a book or books on Restoration?

The most comprehensive, detailed, and clearly written book in the field
is Arthur Reblitz's "Piano Servicing, Tuning & Rebuilding", 2nd edition,
copyright 1993, published by The Vestal Press.

This is available from piano supply houses or the Vestal Press's
successor firm, National Book Network, University Press of America,
tel (301) 731-9515, Fax (301) 459-2118, email: mbass@nbnbooks.com

Good luck on your restoration.
