Very nice pics and info - thanks!

So... Clay for PRESIDENT!! He's very helpful, isn't overly sleepy and doesn't spend all his time in court trying to prove he's an innocent man.

Just a little bit of humor....

Gotta agree, he's great. He also helped me when I was looking for replacement parts for my Recording.

I have 3D printed the replacement barrel and valve guides for my Olds recording. Thanks to Clay's guide on disassembly, I am able to measure and recreated the parts as close as to my original. I am sharing the models and printing instructions in my profile at printables.com.

See https://www.printables.com/model/814966-vintage-olds-recording-trumpet-valox-barrel-and-va

For those who are still sourcing for the original parts, I hope this will be useful in the meantime. I have yet to let my brass tech check for any alignment issues too.
