Anyone have a picture of a Conn 15J handy?

Thanks

Yeah... I saw that one. What I really need is a picture of the marching leadpipe.

I've answered my question myself, guys. In case anyone is interested, some Conn 15J tubas are actually King 1140 tubas. UMI already owned Conn when they bought King. Production of the 15J's was moved to Eastlake (King) and King's already in production 1140 tubas were also sold as 15J's. This particular horn was made in 1988 and had Conn 15J engraved on the bell.... but it's really a King 1140. It's kinda hard to buy parts for stuff like this without actually seeing the horn. My customer called and wanted a marching leadpipe for a 15J. I ordered one and sent it to him. Needless to say it didn't fit. I should have learned this lesson years ago
