Thought I'd given myself enough of a Christmas present. Now I've just been given this.
Needs a lot of work, but is definitely repairable.
Nice Christmas gift. I can play it....

OK, OK! So it's a bit beaten up! I can fix it!😁
Looks like a great project.
Good luck!
I would love to see it after you're done with it 😊👍

Don't hold your breath. This one is a long-term project!
Got it all apart with no damage. Gentle heat, lots of WD-40, waiting between applications freed slides that hadn't moved in maybe 40 years.
Valves are dirty and somewhat worn, but not hopeless, I think.
Can't blow into it till it's been thoroughly cleaned, but it's beginning to look as if most of its problems are cosmetic....

Agree with Bruce. Neat project. I will also be following with interest.
I don't know a thing about instruments, but will enjoy watching the repairs
