Just got in a used Conn 10J. Plays pretty well. The bell needs to be rolled smooth, but that's just my cosmetic wants. The only real problem I find is noisy valves. They look like they have new felts, but they don't feel right. Also, you can wobble the valves back and forth a fair amount with the tacquets in the slots. Can the tacquets be replaced on a 10J?
What would you budget for chem cleaning, new tacquets, new felts, and rolling out a wrinkled, but not cracked, bell?
