Interesting...It's not an 0-99, what model is it? It looks to be in rather good shape regardless.

What the heck is that?? It's not really the second coming of Olds, surely someone just bought the name to put onto imports?

Someone did buy the name to put on imports, but I'm surprised they would look like that. What I remember was more like 3/4 Amatis. This has kind of a Conn 5J look to it, though not in every detail.

Serial number on the mouthpiece receiver, likely foreign made.

My guess is Amati, or possibly Weril?

(I never understood the logic of a serial number stamped on a part that is easily removable - what's the point?)

Yeah, Amati ABB 621 is what it is.

Agreed. ABB 621. Does have a 5J-ish vibe going though.

Those Amati tubas that look like the 5J, do they really have a .717 bore?
