If the Yamaha is substantially less than $650, and it is in playing condition, that is the valves all work and don't leak, all of the slides move readily, and there are no other cracks, breaks, or substantial dents in the metal, then it should be fine for getting back into playing. I still prefer the Olds, and think that it would be a better player, and retain more of its value. Even so, the Yamaha is a perfectly acceptable horn, as long as you are comfortable with top action valves, especially for the price.
