Here’s what I need. All silver plated preferred. Send me a price, +shipping to 70769
-conn 14k or 36k leadpipe(with the neck receiver preferred, and braces if possible)
-conn neck(if I can’t fix the original)
-newer style king valve button (just one)
-5 conn compatible bell screws
-3 king bell screws
I got two 1949 pan American silver sousaphones and a 60s king fiberglass sousaphone from my local middle school(former Highschool). They all need a good amount of work because they’ve been a loft since at least the 70s.
I may not be able to buy all of these parts at once but they are listed in order of need. Thanks everyone
Parts parts parts please

LOL...
If the King has good valves, I'd swap all of the Conn stuff on your list for the King fiberglass sousaphone.
Otherwise (my superlatively-in-my-favor offer aside), I need to hold on to that stuff for customer repairs.

For the king fiberglass, I’m in the middle of restoring the body/bell of the horn and just going to polish up the valve block(it’s silver surprisingly, but painted). So in other words, I’d rather not trade/sell it until I’m done.
