When I bought my piggy, the guy I got it from was supposed to get me the hard case that he had for it, but the idiot didn't pay the storage building rental, and everything inside got auctioned off.

So a new piggy's case may not fit a piggy from the 1960s or 1970s. They all vary in height and girth by several inches at the extremes. If the Wessex case is a bust you could build a case or just get the closest match MTS case. Of course, building one would net you a perfect fit for your personal tuba. The MTS case would likely require gutting and reshaping the interior padding, then recovering it. Hint: that cheesy fake fur used inside instrument cases can be bought by the yard at a large fabric store. I have remade case interiors for years with foam and fur from our local fabric store.
