If your helicon is a BBb, then today might be your lucky day. I have a 1907 three-valve BBb Buescher helicon with the original lead pipe and tuning bit. The leadpipe is fixed, meaning that it does not swivel like a sousaphone goose neck. The leadpipe goes directly into the main tuning slide. After the main slide, the tubing enters the first valve. The length of the leadpipe from receiver to the joint before the tuning slide is 15 1/2". The tuning bit is about 3 1/2" long with two 90 degree bends forming a dog leg.
Post a picture and I can tell you if we have similar models.
