conn 20j leadpipe availabilty

Post by jose the tuba player »

replacement 20j leadpipes are still backordered at allied. is there another source for these? would something like ybb201-321 leadpipe be a close enough replacement? I see votaw tool offers a pitch filled leadpipe. has anybody used one if these with any success?

The generic Wisconsin tube that comes the closest only makes it up to a 19mm bore.

It would be nice if they were to make a similar one that makes it up to a 19.5mm bore (ie. the approximate 20J bore size).
(ok...They do make one, but it's way too long to use on a 20J.)

Would you happen to have a part number for said tube?

having trouble finding them in the catalog...wondering if they have discontinued them.
hopefully, someone else will figure out which page they are on...
