A local restaurant closed, so I went in and unscrewed this baby from the wall, where it had been for about 23 years. When I got it down, I found that none of the slides was stuck, and the worst damage was holes where some idiot had drilled through it to attach it to the wall. Fortunately, he hadn't drilled through any slides or the valve block.
I'm now in the process of patching holes, cleaning, polishing, etc., and I've found that underneath 23 years of smoke and kitchen grease the horn is silver-plated! It'll look great when it's cleaned up.
And yes, I can play it. It sounds good, too.
