| Hi, Ken (Trumpet1Ohio) --
I didn't mean to be brusk ... I have been this route myself, so I thought I should give you a little more insight --
Sometimes, one may gravitate toward a horn of this ilk, in the interest of restoring it -- usually an expensive proposition. Subsequent to restoring it, you probably would never recoup your investment. It might be an acceptable exercise if the horn held "sentimental value", or, if you had a similar horn in need of parts or components; at that point, the "donor horn" can be useful.
I hope my comments help you.
Best of luck --
