Scott,
I have a similar problem with a Boosey EEb Imperial tuba. I am trying to sell it. If I cannot, I will rebuild it. One repair shop said it was uneconomical to repair. Of course, it could not sell for what I might put into it, but then it would play fine enough for a long time.Of course, the newer tubas are easier to play but with a fine valve job it would play alright.
If you rebuild it, let me know how, how much and where, and I will do the same.
Mine has a long tuning slide. Does yours? Sometimes, I have seen them on Ebay with short tuning slides.
Best regards, Bill.
