Man, Morris, if you didn't have bad luck, you'd have no luck at all. Sorry to hear about the crappy auction. You got it at a really good price, though, so I'd at least take it to a good brass tech and see what it would take to get it sorted out before I returned it. If all it needs is a light valve honing and a slide unstuck, the fix wouldn't cost substantially more than the return shipping to the seller. I wonder if someone had it silver plated and they accidentally plated the insides of the valve cases, too? Are they silver or brass inside? Of course, all this assumes there's a good brass repair shop nearby and you don't have to ship the horn anywhere to have it repaired. Good luck with it. |
