Amati F 3 valves converter to 5 valves

Post by dantetuba »

Hello guys.

This was a very interesting adaptation.
I replace the original 3 valves cluster from a old Leningrad tuba Be 18mm, because the clock spring system will work better.
I use only one Amati rotor to made the 5th left hand.

I hope you like this modification.

Thanks

This looks awesome as well! What was the original bore size for the Amati? Would you be interested in selling one of the leftover rotors? I have a cerveny project that I may add a valve to after I finish repairs on it
