If you like the King sound (which I do) that would probably be a decent horn to get. They are built like tanks and can take a beating and keep on licking (sorry). You could possibly find an upright bell for it also, although they are a bit harder to come by than the forward bells. I think $1500 - $2000 would probably be a fair price. Since it is a bell front and pretty beat up it would not be worth as much as an upright model, but it is the four valve model vs. a three valve horn. If you follow the SELLING prices of similar models on Ebay you could probably get an idea of a fair price.
Enjoy and good luck horn hunting! If you are in the east check out Dillons or Baltimore Brass. They are also on the web.
