If you wait long enough, there might also be a listing for a gorgeous York tuba or Holton sousaphone? Not to mention a miraphone of some repute...

(if i wasn't lazy to begin with, i might keep not being lazy:)

But if you don't want to wait for facebook to catch up to tubaforum...

Holy jeez.

This one makes me realize how good my luck was on my 122. Bought it in unplayable condition from a private high school for $350 I think? It was definitely under 500. Bought a new neck receiver, neck and bits (for a Jupiter because the Holton parts weren't available), had a friend put it back together, and had a guy in Texas (5-Line Technology) do a minor overhaul on the valveset for $400. I forget the difference between that one and his $750 job, but he replated the valves, tore down the block and reassembled with some VERY nice patches. The horn plays like a dream now, for around $850 would be my guess.

Oh...we also had to pull a shoe brush out of the horn before it played GREAT.

I'm even more stoked at the deal I got.
