Looking For Miraphone 186 Rotor

I just bought a 1967 Mirafone 186 BBb tuba that has a fourth valve rotor that doesn't match the other three valves. Major air leak as the replacement rotor is smaller. Does anyone here have an extra rotor or know someone that might have extra parts for these horns? Much appreciated!

You might check with Dan Schultz (Tuba Tinker). He's got all kinds of stuff.

Already did, he doesn't have anything. He told me to check with Badger State Repair.

Thanks, will give him a buzz!
Just contacted Badger State Repair and they have to get new ones made from Miraphone. They quoted me around $350 for one rotor, ouch!

One last bump before I end up returning the horn for a refund.
