I was planning on making some frankenhorns out of these but I think I've decided on a King 607F instead so I'm selling these off to fund that. I kind of hope the valve section doesn't sell because I'll probably but the 607F "slide" receiver on it and use that.
At any rate:
King 3BF + Copper 508 32H Leadpipe - $925
This one needs a little work. I was originally planning on making this a 508/525 but like I mentioned, I'm planning on making a 500/525 instead. I had Brad Close add a bi-threaded adapter and leadpipe collar. I wasn't sure if I wanted to replace the lower & both outers with yellow brass or something. It does play well, aside from the slide, and has a particularly good low range, especially with the copper pipe.
I gave the bell a satin finish, but left the inside of the bell lacquered.
The valve cover is a custom delrin cover made by Matt Frost.

Conn 5G Valve Section + King 606 Bell - $900
I picked this one up a few months ago. Plays well despite being a valve block. It's "slide" receiver has been swapped for a 3B/King606 size receiver and comes with a King 606 bell section. Do not want to separate, although if you were just interested in the 606 bell section that would be okay.

Conn "Corprion" 18H - $450
Pretty good condition. Slide is probably 7/10. I was planning on using the bell with whatever franken small bore I end up with but.. that would be awhile out and I can always pick up another one. If I don't sell it, I'll probably take the bell off and put one of my spare King bells on it since it does play pretty well otherwise. Actually, if you want this but want a King 606 or another bell (I have a few lying around... I'll have to check) on this I can probably accommodate that.

PS. Happy to mix/match or make a deal on combinations or the whole thing of the 3BF and the Valve trombone since all four combinations are interchangeable.
