That valve section looks like a mess. $4,495? I predict no sale.

Really? In what way?

Ditto Bloke.
I had a Dillon cut F at one time that was a very nice instrument. Not all that pretty, but a winner for sure.
I have since seen it up for sale at least twice. Each time the price is lower than what I bought/sold it for about 12 years ago.
This is my favorite quote in this ad: "This is a fun little horn with a very unique sound."

Yeah, I liked "unique sound" too. I'd prefer my F tuba to have a distinctively F tuba sound.

There are only like 3 "weird" things about that horn's valve section-
-5th valve tubing goes to the back (lots of modern $$ tubas do to)
-valve set sticks out a bit far, not too bad
-4th valve tubing has an odd loop
If this plays anything like a small Rusk York F or even like regular small Conn Eb's (I really like how they play) I bet it is quite a nice horn indeed!

The valve tube section certainly is a sack o' snakes.
