horn-u-copia is getting there, I believe. Basically, as far as Conn tuba models go, after they were bought in 1970 there wasn't a whole lot going on. They brought out the 5J around 1980, and phased out the C version of the tuba (the 2J) shortly thereafter. The large tubas were gone by the end of the 1970s, and the 10J was replaced by the 12J early in the 1970s. The marching convertible version of the 12J, the 15J, came out in the early 1970s as well, but was replaced by a copy of the King 1140M late in the 1980s (same model number). That was short-lived, and by 1997 was gone (not even listed on the website). The Conn range of tubas has been just the 5J and 12J (recently discontinued) since 2000. It's kind of sad.
