JC, could you explain how the 2nd bell valve gets changed to a standard 4th valve?
Thanks

I'll post some pics. The entire 2nd bell assembly slides into a short slide on the rotary valve. Loosen 4 screws, and it slides out. Slide in the J-shaped 4th valve tubing (with an extra long pull!) and secure with one screw and you're good to go with a 4-valve Euph.

I'll take and post pics here and on ebay this afternoon :)

Very cool idea, JC! It sounds like the 2nd bell is removed and another slide is put in it's place? Yes?
