I agree Tom, you might luck up, but my high school band director has bought one of these before and the tolerances on the valves are not consistent and you will have to do a lot of work on them and still won't be real fast. The linkage systems are also about 35 years out of date, almost identical to the miraphones from the late 60's and early 70's. They are also noisy as hell. You can buy a much better horn for about the same money if you are just patient. By the way there is an huge old holten on ebay right know that would be a great horn, I wished I had the money and I would buy and have it cut down to a CC.
