Conn 10 J. Serial # is 1970. Not that rare. Looks a hell of a lot older than it is. Nice patina.

Its back up as auction or buy it now. I think he'll be lucky if he gets anyone to get to his reserve price. Should have left it in the barn another 50 years. :)

Well the 10j showed up a couple of days ago. It actually plays pretty well and doesn't have any leaks I can find. Couldn't tell on the ebay photos but it is a silver horn. It looks like it will clean up pretty well. Started polishing. Gonna take awhile.

Still not completely done. Added some new pics to photobucket. It's silver again! I'm happy.

It's as good as it's going to get. Came out pretty well I think.
