Going to contact Valve Dr. tomorrow. Horn is in great shape otherwise. Really anxious to hear how the horn sounded 113 years ago. It sounds good now but we'll see. I also have the 1907 and 1911 Perfected Wonder.

I'm sure you will enjoy it.
One of my best investments was in a 1921 Conn Victor - valve job and alignment. I played it for 20 years until someone talked me out of it. |

Andy , I have the same horn from the same era , is in mint condition with the opera glass mechanism in good working condition but it needs a valve job , do you remember what exactly you have done to your horn (nickel plating, new valves, other).
I really like the sound of this horn and I try to found the best way to restore it and the best technician in Europe.
Regards

Giakara: talk to Jake Kline, https://berlinertuba.com/ He has a tremendous reputation around here for repairing and restoring old, older, and ancient brass. He is super busy so it may be hard to get a hold of him.
