My experience with two fully restored Steinways (1920's model O and
1894 model B) is that a soundboard replacement is necessary to get the
treble section to "sing" like a newer instrument. The original
soundboards at 80-100 years old have a distinctive "old piano" sound
to them.

This is probably because the bearing of the soundboard has changed (losing
its original horizontal "shape" on the vertical axis), this is a common
problem with older pianos.
Does the piano have 85 or 88 keys? I forget in which years Steinway made 85
key pianos.
If the piano has good bearing, 88 keys and good action it may be worth its
asking price.
