Parts parts parts please

Post by EmptyCase »

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

I replied to you via email about your king sousaphone by the way...
Some old Yorks, Martins, and perhaps a King rotary valved CC

LOL...

If the King has good valves, I'd swap all of the Conn stuff on your list for the King fiberglass sousaphone. :laugh: :smilie7:

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.
