Hi Tubnet,
I'm posting this for a friend, who is managing the sale of this horn for another friend:
Five-valve, silver-plated Meinl Weston 25e B-flat tuba with Altieri gig bag for sale: $6000, local pick up in Knoxville, TN only; this owner will not ship this instrument. I do believe the fifth valve is not an after-market addition; it looks and plays to me like it came from the factory that way.
This horn has been meticulously cared for; all moving parts are in excellent working order and it seems to be quite clean, though well-loved.
Here's a short video about this tuba, be merciful about the B-flat fingerings, please:

The person managing the sale of this instrument is Sande MacMorran, principal tubist of the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra. His email is smacmorran at aol dot com. Phone is 8 6 5 * 3 6 8 * 9 9 2 6
SOLD MW 25e FIVE-VALVE silver-plated B-flat tuba $6000

Re: MW 25e FIVE-VALVE silver-plated B-flat tuba FS $6000
^ Nice! That second etude sounded fun on that tuba 
The regular 4rv M-W 25 BBb brand-new goes for about $10K
This M-W 25e seems to be a custom 5rv in silverplate, like-new condition with/bag for just $6K. That's a great price for this tuba; I'd imagine the brand-new price for it would be at least double! Like the tuba + cat pic
