Yup.
The video may explain where my love of Bechsteins comes from.
As an aside, Baldwin owned them from the 1963 till 1986, which would explain your exposure.

Does that explain the SF10?

I don’t think so. A lot of people try to promote that, but I don’t find a lot of similarity. Very different pianos totally and construction. That’s also kind of insulting to Baldwin that had a very nice artist series.

Interesting video and story. Thanks for sharing!!

Interesting. Bechsteins from that era (over 100+years) were known for having trouble with their castings, though nothing noted in this particular case. Would be interesting to know a bit about how it sounded prior to the work it received in the 60's. Hammer replacement at the time was as much about "What exists and can be made to fit on this piano" rather than some sort of particular ideal. Likely explains why it felt a bit heavier too.
Cool that it was able to find a place as prominent piano. A good overall scale design, with a hammer type that wasn't typically found on this type of piano, seemed to help make it stand out.

Speaking if SF10’s. Between what years was this model considered at its best?
