WILL NOT FIT CONN !!! - neither 14K/36K size nor 38K/20K/22K/40K-size
It's just a little bit too small for the 14K/36K size.
It probably also will NOT fit Olds/Reynolds nor any Selmer USA sousaphone (as those are roughly the same size as 14K/36K)
It will also NOT fit a standard King sousaphone!!!
It's a shame, because it comes fairly close-but-NO-cigar to fitting King.
I can nearly guarantee that it would fit most any E-flat SOUSAPHONE...as long as the bell comes off.
It's well over 60 years old (based on a couple of cool old stickers), but is in remarkably good shape.
It shows a bit of wear, obviously...I don't believe any repairs have ever been done to it.
The inside is sort-of "deluxe-ish" (purple plush/upholstered solid bell divider/divided storage/leather snaps/etc.)
$200...local pick-up only.
I HAD kept this JUST IN CASE I ever found an E-flat sousaphone that I personally really liked...but (again...me, personally...) I've owned all of the various USA-made ones, and (sousaphone-wise) I've decided to stay with B-flat.
IF (??) you talk me into Greyhound-ing it, I'll need a $75 drop-off fee, in addition to GPX shipping cost. (It's a 2-hour round-trip, and I always end up sitting around for nearly an hour waiting for them to FIRST deal with hoards of passengers and their issues...and - with Greyhound - one can NO LONGER call ahead to see if the GPX person is on duty.)
Also, if (??) I Greyhound it, you must agree that it's YOUR property and YOUR responsibility, once I hand it off to Greyhound...and whether the GPX employee fills out the ticket correctly or not.

(I doubt that Dale is interested in the case, but he would be interested in the old stickers.)
