heheheheh, guess when I came to college I forgot a lot of stuff, because it turns out that the cornet is actually
Olds Ambassador
SN#62046
Made in Los Angeles, California

Well, at least I knew it was an Olds. If I feel like it (and ever get decent pics), I'll post some.

I'd look at getting the horn back into good playing condition. If the valves need the work I've heard through other posts that Kanstul will redo the valves for about 250 or so. Send it to them and get a real quote.

Actually, to follow up, I played it last weekend. Valves are still great, nice and fast. Yeah, it still looks like absolute crap, but, then again, who said looks matter? The only problem I have with it right now is the Bach 7C mouthpiece. I'm looking at maybe a a Schilke or something.
