nieuwguyski has a spectacular aura about
My Conn 80A Victor had a leak in the 2nd valve crook (as well as other problems). I had the horn refurbished to tip-top playing condition, and the leaking crook was neatly repaired with a strip of sterling silver, curved and shaped to wrap around the end of the crook. The work was done by The Brass Bow, back when Wayne Tanabe was the owner. I haven't heard about the quality of their repair work since Wayne left.
