I know this may have already been covered but I just acquired my first Olds. It is a 1950 LA Studio model in very good to excellent but not mint horn SN 59XXX. I collect and play mostly Kings and Conns but always wanted a LA Olds. I picked this one up for $70.00 with new springs, felts, pads and sonic cleaning. As a new Olds owner can someone give me a comparison of this years quality and models as compared to the newer Fullerton horns?

My first impressions are good but I need more time on it to really make any comparison to my upper end Kings or Conns. The thing is heavy though and appears to be a quality well built horn.
