Looking for a valve set

With the help of John Huth here at the Red Wing band instrument repair program I'm finally going to start my Eb to F conversion project. I have a tuba (well, two of them actually) but I don't have any valves. I'm looking for a four valve set with a bore somewhere in between .689 and .750 with bows attached (it doesn't matter which key). I also don't care if they're plated or not, getting them plated shouldn't be a problem. It might be a few weeks before I can get the money to buy anything outright, but I also have a Boosey 3+1 compensating Eb and/or a Conn Pan American valve set that I'd be willing to trade. (Yes, the Boosey needs valve work. Badly. I don't know off-hand if the Conn valves need to be replated or not.) Anyone have anything that I could use?

Thanks,
Scott
