John,  My vote is to save!  I just know that once it's gone, you're
gonna find the guts and then kick yourself thereafter.  Guts do show
up now and then.  I once found a flood-damaged piano with all the guts,
and it matched a gutted piano that I regularly tuned.  Unfortunately,
the owner's husband didn't want the "stuff" back in the piano, even
just for future restoration.  I couldn't get him to budge, nor see the
increased value they'd have.  Ah, well...
