I had put the data from the old board into a spreadsheet. If I can find it, I’ll post it.

There are various vendors of what they call anhydrous lanolin on fleabay. In general I avoid the woo-woo vendors and stick with those that sound like industrial suppliers, but I’ve no idea if there’s a way to vet the product in advance.

This stuff might be worth a try: https://ebay.us/m/hjf5o8

I greatly prefer the old Schilke lanolin-based slide grease, which is a 50/50 mix of anhydrous lanolin and amber petroleum jelly NOTE: NOT clear or white petroleum jelly! Amber is an industrial lube with different properties. And by all means do NOT use Vaseline! Also most lanolins sold today are ...

Follow-up: If someone plays the horn and says, "Man, I wish this thing had sixth valve," you can negotiate that separately.

I am not in the target audience for this horn, but I think you answer your own question here:

So before I work to install this 6th valve (which, again is of a modular design) I need to consider that I have to pay off a large bill, and need to sell a horn relatively quickly. It is easily a $12,000 ...

Noticed this has been discounted to $3499: https://www.baltimorebrasscompany.com/p ... -tuba.aspx

Reverb and eBay are also two good sources for what horns have sold for, e.g. this, this, or this.

You might try Wessex again, I was able to get one from them. I recall Paul Scott said he had one made from a Miraphone (I think) kaiser bell, but I'm not sure which model.

They've posted it on Reverb and have dropped the price to $2975.

Left the area right after HS, but I can say that things can get strange after dark.

Good price, although you have to get down to Ft. Walton Beach to pick it up. Not the worst road trip. (FWBHS grad)

I think most of the folks who do valve jobs would prefer/require that the valve set be detached from the horn first. At least, that's what I've heard.

I'm curious: who is still around that that can overhaul a valve section now that Anderson no longer provides that service?

Low price.

Edit: Original ad listing the horn as a Miraphone 190A has been taken down. Same horn has been relisted as a MW 25.
