I did just a 3 minute google search on how to estimate the value. First step is to figure what model or at least if it has a serial number. The information is probably in the upper right hand corner of the harp (aka plate) but it could be located in several different areas. Most of the websites want to charge you to do an appraisal but you can probably at least find out when it was made if you can find a serial number. If it does not have a serial number (or it is below 13000 anyway) then it may be before 1900 according to one website I saw. I would try using ChatGPT to see if it can give you more information.
I really think that you should look into and convince them to do the player piano conversion.
