Don't get too excited.If this is anything like the BBb Conn's of this era, it would NEED a 5th valve. I've found them to be very stuffy in the low registers and in the 4th valve, especially.It must be the way it's wrapped or the smallish bore (.689", I think). I also think this tuba's price will skyrocket beyond its true value, making any restoration or customization costs in addition to its purchase price almost worth considering a newer, better horn. I've come to this conclusion after drooling over the pics on eBay yesterday when it was posted and sleeping on it overnight and waking up more sane today.
