King-Style BBb Sousaphone or Valve Section

Post by Ltrain »

I'm looking for a King-style sousaphone... this also includes Buescher, Jupiter and a few other makes that have the long, extra wrap before the lead pipe enters the valve section. See just about any King sousa to see what I'm talking about: http://olveramusic.com/11399-tm_thickbo ... truida.jpg" target="_blank" target="_blank

I may access to a body if anyone just has a valve section for sale in this config. 3 valves is fine, 4 would be perfect (Buescher made a 4-valver with this configuration).

Repairable, salvage condition is preferred. This is for a project horn, so I'm sourcing parts on a budget.
