ContraBuddy Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 (edited) Hey everyone, I've got money probs and am facing being evicted unless I can come up with $2500 by 12/12/08. I've got no choice but to see what I can get for my K-90 and my other G bugles. Here's what I've got: King K-90. Serial Number 881898. She's got the 2 'U' braces, as well as the tuning marks on the main slide. She's pretty much confirmed as one of Blue Devils original set of 8. Here's a copy of an email from John Meehan: "My Dad no longer has the tuning guide, so we struck out there. Wayne is almost positive it is a BD horn. By any chance, are there "marks" on the main tuning slide? That would be a give away it is a BD horn. Depending on when it was used, it might have marks or residue of finger nail polish :). " She's in what I'd say is VERY good shape. Just has a lot of tarnish and has the usual worn plating, but no serious dents. Also, ALL slides & both valves work easily and as they should. DEG Dynasty II 2 valve bari. Serial # A2498. She's in good shape, with only a few minor dents. DEG Dynasty II 2 valve sop. Serial # 4330. In excellent condition. Olds UltraTone V/R contra. Serial # 011652 In excellent condition except for a small crack right above the water key. It's taped over and now air-tight. Olds UltraTone V/R bari, with hard case. Serial # 009117. Excellent condition. Olds UltraTone V/R sop. Serial # 016524. In good shape. Top tubing connection to the rotor needs to be resoldered. Getzen Titleist single piston french horn. Serial # B8331. Fair condition, some crinkle on the bell. Probable Getzen Titleist single piston sop. Serial # 2012. Pretty rough condition, but playable. Brass finish (where there IS finish), some corrosion. This sop was use in St. Nicholas Cadets all-girl corps in the late 50's - early 60's. I know the V/R's and single valve bugles aren't worth much nowadays, but I have a week to get $2500, so, I'm listing them all. If you live anywhere near Dover, Delaware, I've got a lot of other things for sale as well. Since I need the money so fast, payments would have to be an over-nighted money order, PayPal to my sister's account or a Westren Union Moneygram. So, make an offer, or offers.... Thanks for reading this. Bill PS: Here a link to pics of the K-90: My K-90 pics on TubeNet Edited December 7, 2008 by ContraBuddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Periphery Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 BUMP! Help a brother out and get him some cash SOON, folks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorpsBuff Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Hope you found a buyer for the horns. I live in Camden-Wyoming and didn't know that there were too many other drum corps people in Delaware. A Cabs Alumni baritone friend of mine also lives in Magnolia. Best of luck!

BAT Man Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) I used to be "Periphery" (who posted this on TubeNet for you nearly seven years ago). Did you ever sell the Ultratone piston/rotor contra? I am currently looking for one, or for a specific part at least. Hope you're still around here. I see that you last logged in in 2010, so I am not holding my breath, but if you find this, even years from now, please respond here. Thanks!
