I had one for a number of years, player removed, but smaller than yours. 1920, 6' including the extra length keys, so not sure what model that makes it.
The action came out the usual way if you just lift it some, clearing whatever that was. Still a pain and very heavy.

As it appears to be a fromer player piano, I'm guessing you'll need to remove the lyre. I have no actual experience with this, just a suggestion.

I tuned this piano today and I wanted to check out some sluggish keys in the high treble but was unable to remove the action.
Following the first rule of brain surgery and piano service (first, do no harm..) I aborted the mission and closed up the patient.
I felt like I would have needed to force the action out and I just wasn't comfortable doing that so I let well enough alone.
