Well, this is not the correct forum, but . . .
Simple. Check it out to see if you like it, but you MUST have a qualified piano tech check it out. Yes, you will have to pay the tech for his time and opinion, but that will be money well spent. That's my opinion!
(A tech will spot problems with the piano, that a lay person won't, and they will be able to estimate how much will be required to correct the problem.) Even if you buy from a piano dealer, you should still have your own tech do the inspection. Essential, IMHO.)
Also, just because it's a Steinway doesn't mean that you'll like it, or that it is in good shape.

A piano this old is likely to be fit only for the woodpile. People want Steinways so badly, and the price of new ones is so high, that they are willing to spend outrageous sums on--and people are more than willing to sell them--what is essentially junk.
Furthermore, your PX 100 has sound that was probably sampled from a Steinway concert grand. So one might say it's better than some old Steinway baby grand.
Steinways are not that good. A mystique has been built up around them, which the Steinway company has carefully cultivated, but the instrument itself is not all that great.
If you want to upgrade, I'd suggest the Roland V Piano, at around $6000. It would play that 1928 Steinway under the table, and it would give you instant celebrity. Many people own Steinways, but only a few own a V Piano. People will come from miles around just to see it.
