Check the horn resources thread for some good repair people and give them a call. The following come to mind as ideas: Bob Reeves; Dillon; Wayne Tanabe.

Don't know what their turnaround time is, but it seems worth a shot.

Since you only need to use the horn for a short while, you should get a more viscous valve oil. I'd try the Hetman #3 (Classic), it is their most viscous oil.

Put slide grease on the valves. Oil until the valves work.

Apply thick grease to the slides.
