Re: Conn "Barn Find"
Conn 10 J. Serial # is 1970. Not that rare. Looks a hell of a lot older than it is. Nice patina.

Re: Conn "Barn Find"
Its back up as auction or buy it now. I think he'll be lucky if he gets anyone to get to his reserve price. Should have left it in the barn another 50 years. :)http://www.ebay.com/itm/CONN-TUBA-FOR-P ... SwYHxWNXs1" target="_blank

Re: Conn "Barn Find"
Well I had the high bid. guess Ill find out how long it was in the barn 
. Reserve wasn't as high as I figured. I think if I do a little work on it the kids at school with appreciate it.

Re: Conn "Barn Find"
Well the 10j showed up a couple of days ago. It actually plays pretty well and doesn't have any leaks I can find. Couldn't tell on the ebay photos but it is a silver horn. It looks like it will clean up pretty well. Started polishing. Gonna take awhile. http://s1029.photobucket.com/user/edsel ... t=3&page=1" target="_blank

Re: Conn "Barn Find"
Still not completely done. Added some new pics to photobucket. It's silver again! I'm happy.
