sopranogurl22 Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 I'm from the Blue Saints and I'm trying to find a corps that may have had K-90 contras converted to three valve recently. We are in need of pictures of a completed conversion. I heard that some corps had it done recently. If you have any information post it here or PM me. Thanks alot!

Dave Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 I've seen some guys from the Erie Thunderbirds with converted Kings; if any of them run across this, perhaps they could point you in the right direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told these are only for P/R horns, not K90s. you are correct , I spoke with Charles yesterday and he told me that his post was incorrect, why someone would convert a p/r to 3 valve is beyond me , so Im looking to do the conversion on my horn if the other option we have falls thru.

ducttapedgerbil Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Hello...McFly... What are you thinking...If you really want 3 valves just get one of those DEG/Wilson 3-valvers like Don's for $800. Why would you want to turn your King into an abomination that will have different intonation than the rest of the line and risk turning a perfectly good horn into a doorstop.

Dave Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Well, it it certainly possible to do a good conversion job on them. Like I said, there's those Thunderbird guys, and I know that when Future Corps was around it used K90s that were converted to 4vs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look Gerbil Boy , the Degs are #$%* in my opinion, however if we cant get the hons we are after(I'll tell you later) than Im considering this. Its not like converting a Melli, a Contra is bigger and easier to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
