...so I have a wood case (with the two really large/stable-rolling wheels) that fits up to those 7/8th-size front-action models (listed in bold, above) but which is too small for a Miraphone 186 and I'm in NEED of a 186 case.
If you have a 186-fitting case (and WISH you had a SMALLER front-action case), I'd love to swap with you, if you're not too far away.
The case that I need should accommodate a front-action tuba with an 18-inch bell that is 40 inches tall.
I'd deliver this shorter case (designed for a 16" bell front-action tuba or smaller) in clean/good condition, and drive halfway to some not-to-far-away place to swap. Obviously, both of us shipping our cases to each other would cost each of us well over $100 (plus nearly as many hours of "messing around") as shipping, so "meeting up" to swap in-person seems the most logical.
Below is a suggested max distance away from me where you might possibly be located.
Black represents where you (with a 186 case to trade) might be, and red represents where we might meet up...but I'd probably be willing to stretch the red ring out, a little bit...
