I found an olds ambassador French Horn made in LA for 60 bucks. Is it any good and would it be worth the purchase?

Those model 45 F horns are actually pretty decent for student horns. Built sturdy with a big sound.

They are welll made instruments. I don't think that there would be anything from Olds (the old Olds... not Blessing with Olds engraved on it) that wouldn't be worth getting, even in bad condition for 60$.
even the pinto and it's nearly invincible valves!

If it's a double in working condition, it is definitely worth it.
If it's a single F in working condition, it's probably worth it.
If it's a single Bb in working condition, you'd have a hard time selling it, but you might be able to sell it for a profit.
MA, who isn't sure what model an Ambassador is.
