It's the newer old style at least (first valve circuit on top and an "unwrapped" third valve). Good horns! The price is under a grand as well.

How hard would it be to track down an upright bell for this, do you think?

^ Just check eBay every now and then. Those King bells are somewhat common if you look long enough. That said, If I were interested in this series of tubas, I'd pick this model (with upright bell) over the older 1241, as well as over the new squat fixed-bell 2341

Seller already has offer of $1000 plus shipping. For that you can get 1241 with upright bell if no one wants to bid...

As regards the upright bell you might consider picking up a three banger with one for cheap and either keep it as a spare or resell it with the bell front if you find you don't need it. Ed

' wonder where it came from ?

Is this regarding items discussed here?

Apparently deal fell through and enthusiastic offer disappeared. Or maybe the buyer was one of those scams? At any rate, it’s $850 and open for offers so if someone is local with cash in hand can workout a deal.
