Is there any way to tighten them? |
Do they wobble a bunch in the valve casing too? If so, it might be time to see a repairman.

Also, 3rd valve sticks up slightly higher than the other 2 valves.
I made sure that all 3 are screwed together equally tight.
Any clues on what to do about it?

With the valves in, pop out the second valve slide, depress second valve and look to see if the holes line up. If so, the third valve may have a too thick of a cork on it. If not, then perhaps the cork on first and second valve may be too low. Most all repairmen have nifty gauges and mirrors for adjusting the vertical valve allignment, which is a pretty cheap fix. The horizonal allignments are more costly. Have fun with your new horn!
