Email me your pictures and I will post them here in this thread. You might end up selling it very quickly depending on condition, features, and price.

I don't always post my signature, but I will in this post so you can have my email address.

I owned a 184 BBb and liked it a lot. It was a pipsqueak of a tuba.
