| thanks for the advice, and thanks for all the help everyone
i'm bringing it by ron partch's tomorrow, i'm still going to at least investigate, as the only things i really want to get done are dent removal, resoldering the braces, fixing that 2nd valve slide and general setup. if i can get that done and come in under a couple hundred, i'm really happy.
the valves are actually PERFECT on it. they feel as good as any i've ever played. and i'm not going to bother relaquering since it's mostly sterling silver anyway and the parts that aren't look great the way they are(except for the odd burn mark). hehe. |
