TubeNet

I've been tipped off to an old sousaphone. I was looking into getting a tuba but what I really wanted was a sousaphone. Turns out the guy who was selling the York tuba I was looking at had an old sousaphone laying around.....

The problems: Its an old unmarked Eefer. The bell doesn't match (can't remember what it says), the body doesn't have any indication of maker but is certainly old American silver plated .

Its missing the gooseneck/tuning pieces (which I'm sure I can track down)

And its also missing the bottom valve cap and one button. Are these gonna be a pain to find? He wants $100, it has some dents but it looks like it'll work ok once everything is there. The valves look good, the slides are mostly stuck but I can free them.

I guess I'm just looking to hear that I can probably track down the parts without a problem. Once I get the horn , if I do, I can post pics here which should help.

thanks!

I would love to help you but you haven't given me much to work with. Pictures will be necessary to help identify your horn and help you find parts. Post some photos and I will help you out.
