FS: tiny .560" bore Czech 3 piston Eb with small shank trb. (!) receiver $200

This is a very, very small bore (.560") Eb tuba made in Czechoslovakia. No manufacturer name but they were commonly sold in the US under names like Wurlizter. It has gold lacquer that is about 90% remaining. Lead pipe has been patched, various things repaired, all valves move, some slides limed shut.
It has a small shank trombone receiver (smaller than typical "small/British" tuba shank), but it does include a mouthpiece that fits the instrument. Find a custom 'piece and use it as a poor man's cimbasso. It can get fairly bright. Plug in a 6-1/2 AL and fire away!
I'd like to get $200 for it. Pickup in southeastern CT or I can meet you in the NYC Metro/New England area. PM or email beanhillbrass at gmail if interested. FedEx shipping may be possible at buyer's sole expense and risk. Thanks!
