SEEKING: o.e.m. (>only<) King baritone horn piston spring (only one spring)

Post by bloke »

For a project, I'm missing one of these.

I ONLY am looking for a genuine o.e.m. spring.

The other three seem absolutely perfect (fit/tension) for these valves.

Yamaha won't do. Allied generic probably won't do.

I don't care if the spring is new or not-damaged/used. Even "green stuff" on an undamaged one is OK.

I'm wondering if someone might stick one in an empty prescription bottle, stick that in a small padded bag, and mail it to me cheap (1st Class - tracked).

Allied "generic" are only 30 cents or so (my cost) each (purchasing a minimum of ten - which would - of course - be fine), but they aren't quite the same as these.

I have NO idea whether Conn-Selmer uses different springs for their "euphonium" (??), but these springs - specifically - are for a front-action King BARITONE valveset.

Of course, I would reimburse for postage and offer something for the nuisance of this.
