Conn 20J Restoration

Post by shoedumas »

Hey everyone. Thought I'd give you a quick update on a restoration I'm doing on my 60's Conn 20J. It is currently all disassembled, and I've done the dent work on the largest section of straight tube in the bottom right of the photo.

I'll try to keep posting updates as I go!

Not a bad idea! I'll consider it. :P It would be nice to have a 6/4 CC... I'd also like to try and change out the valves to a 24K valve set and convert it to front action, but I don't know if I can find a valve set in decent shape.

I was wondering what was up with that horn. Keep at it! It sounded pretty good but it's bound to look good, too!
