Thanks for the comments, both publicly and privately. It now makes sense to me that this is a great (and economically viable) way to recycle older horns into tubas people are willing to buy.

For my next purchase, I will proabaly use the same method I used when picking my present horn: consider the use, what I like, and what I can afford. Whatever key it's in is what I will learn to live with.

Finally, I'm starting to look at the semi-wrecked (but somewhat playable) small Eb tuba I have, the one my kids have referred to as an "Eb dent-o-phone." Can it be restored in Eb? In F? Let's see, where did I put the torch and hacksaw...
