New Eb project, where to find parts

Good morning guys, this might be in the wrong forum, BUT it is directed more to the people in here. I am wanting to build a 5V (4P 1R) Eb tuba. I believe I have the bugle lined up, but where to find the Valveset to use... what I am looking for is a king 2341 (or very similar) .689" 4 piston set. For those of you who build horns, do you have any suggestions on where to find a Valveset? Or where to start looking? I've though about reaching out to different schools and see if they have any trashed horns, but if there is a more direct way, I'll entertain anything.

Thanks everyone, I'm excited to start working on this horn as soon as I can find all the parts.

You can make a post in the "Wanting To Buy/Seeking" subforum. That's how I got my King 1241 valveset w/tubing for my own Eb project.

Keep an eye on Ebay and craigslist as well.

What are you using for the body?
