When they do, I might start pulling down some of these projects.
It's incredible if they haven't at least slowed down on sending you their instruments to repair. After all the rants you have written here about how people don't take care of their instruments any more, if they're still getting busted up it would have to make you wonder if anyone's listening.

Below is a link to a photo of John Helleberg and his Buescher CC tuba in 1922. Perhaps Buescher designed these for an easy converstion to CC.

That it does. With yet another idea about how to handle the third valve tubing than I, at least, have seen before. I wish the definition gave us a better look at the bracing.
