I just got a used Mirafone 186 4u. I've had Mirafones before, but this one has what I think is the presto system. it's got a screw/spring thingy (that swings out to adjust then you can swing it back out of the way). Do you release tension by tightening or lossening the spring tension? Sounds like a stupid question ,but i don't want to mess around with the tightening/loosening drill until i know what I'm doing. Can I oil the valves directly, pouring oil into the openings protecting the linkage? The horn number is 14985- can I get the age of the horn from this number? (I don't know anythingabout the history of the horn as I didn't buy it from an individual). Sorry for all the questions. My teacher tells me the only stupid question is the one I don't ask!
