I have a few people interested in this that have asked for pictures. Posting here to save server space! My apologies to those waiting on these from last week. I 100% meant to get them out before I left and it totally slipped my mind.

Been thinking about the price, lets say $600 shipped CONUS, OBO. If you've messaged me I'll respond there too!
Slide is fine, but if you're choosy, possibly not ideal! Both outer, individual tubes seem a okay when lubed (8/10 maybe? I'm not good at the /10 measurement :lol: ; its less quick than my Shires lightweight slide or sure!). When both are in the slide action is ever so slightly worse so it probably needs an alignment & cleaning. But it plays fine for me!
Fits on Yamaha medium bores and, interestingly enough, some of the large bore bell sections if you're careful about how you screw the threads on. Works on my YSL548, for example.

Heads up, there's a 356 on eBay for anyone who was interested in this. (Mine is still for sale, feel free to make an offer, btw.) It looks like the slide is in worse shape (says it sticks in 3rd???) and obviously doesn't have the saturn key or the leadpipe but not everyone is interested in those aspects. But it does come with the complete bell section which looks to be in decent shape.

Is this a dual bore .500/.525 slide?

Yep! 500/525.
This one has a new YSL354 pipe in it (the tech wasn't able to keep the original). I'm not sure but I suspect the pipes are identical anyway. My tech put the "ring" on the top so its easier to remove and a little more secure than just having the venturi.
