I'll take a stab at it, although I'm pretty clueless.

Buy two trashed Eb sousaphones and splice them. 600 + labor to include a possible replating. ~1000 - 2500?

New valve set from Meinl, Kanstul, Willson, etc ~1000 - 1500.

Wait for a 4 valve Eb donor on ebay. ~300 to 2000.

Use a cut down King valveset from a BBb horn. ~1000 - sell the bell + labor for trimming loops. ~1000?
