New! Conn Eb Giant, 20" Bell. 2nd and third slides stuck. Valves feel great and it has above average compression for it's age, I'd give them an A-. Asking $800 +ship. Willing to shine it up for you (no dent work) for an additional $200. I would also consider a trade for a beat up BBb Contrabass Bugle. No case. Has original mouthpiece (not pictured).

Slide could use some fine tuning, but no major damage and is usuable as is. $600+shipping. https://imgur.com/gallery/EWIlQaR" target="_blank"

I also have a set of Grainger Highland pipes ca. 1950's that are up for sale. Inquire if interested. :tuba:

How beat up are we talking? I have a beat up 12J. The bugle is in good shape, but the bell is practically useless. Lead pipe is broken off at the valve block. I'll throw the hard case in, as well. I hate carrying that case around with my horn.

I'm guessing this is not acceptable, but might as well see if that horn is worth something to someone else while sitting in the garage.
