I bought a King Eb from the late 1920's on ebay. It's very dent free and
in great condition except I guess it has leaky valves. There's a little play in them when you unscrew the caps, but the clincher is that when you start using the valves the notes are squirelly and hard-to-center. Also the valves don't hold vacuum when you pull the slides.

The pistons are worn but in good shape otherwise. What would this repair cost, approx?
