... but I don't have the go ahead yet from the church, even though it's well within their stated budget.

It's shiny, and not all that beat up. I'd love to get it sold, particularly since it's on the same route as two other places I need to go that are 1-1/2 hours and 2 hours away, respectively.

Cross your fingers for me. I'd like to get this one out of the attic and turned into some cash.

Any updates? Did the church buy it?

Thanks.

Thank you. Yes they did agree to buy it. I was surprised. It's about done, once I get the linkage mounted, stick the bell and mouthpipe back on, polish up some of the parts, and shoot some lacquer here and there.

If you are suggesting that you might have been interested in purchasing it, I am grateful for and flattered by your interest. If you would like to view the progress on bringing it back from the dead, I created a thread documenting this in the repair forum.

... with apologies for the irreverence and poll which makes light of tuba solos:

Thanks for the update. I was interested if it did not sell. Sorry I did not see the other topic on it. It came out nice.

Good job.
