DFragmentor Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 This baby has been with me for a long time. It does have its share of dents but it sounds powerful and dark. Lets start the price off at $700. Best offer can have it. Don't forget Shipping will be included after the fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Periphery Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 (edited) Might seem stupid to you, but what is the serial number on the second valve casing? Can you post pics of both sides to show the condition of the plating? Does the Ab slide still work and does it have a functioning slide stop (both parts: the screw on the slide and the plate on the first slide)? I am interested, possibly . . . Thanks for your time!

Wade I am not at home right now to get the number. But the tuning slides do work but can get a little stuck. Greeseing them up does the trick. I dont think this one has a slide stop. I can pull out all the slides when I clean it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greeseing them up does the trick. I dont think this one has a slide stop. I can pull out all the slides when I clean it. No, no . . . the Ab slide, not the tuning slide or the valve slides. It is the half step slide that lets you play Eb and Ab and must work as freely as a trombone slide in order to be of any use. It has a slide stop to keep it from coming off while using it on the field. Does it work properly right now? The parts to look for to determine whether the setup is complete are: 1. Finger Ring (yours is there; it is visible in the photo) 2. Slide Stop Screw, which is like a sousaphone neck screw attached to the Ab slide just above the finger ring 3. Slide Stop Retainer Plate, which (depending on the age of the K-90) can be a thick ring at the end of the first slide tube closest to the Ab slide The K-90 has a total of four slides: the main tuning slide, the two valve slides and the Ab slide. These two photos show the Ab slide in both positions. Note that the stop screw and plate are reversed on this horn. This is a first year version. The parts were replaced with stronger stuff and reversed. The screw used to be on the first slide and the retainer plate. The screw is not on this horn in the photo, but the retainer ring is plainly visible. So, are all of the parts there on your baby (even if the slide does not function properly)? Let me know. 1982 King K-90 – First production run, owned by the San Jose Raiders Thanks for responding to my questions. I am in no hurry. If you have not sold it before you get home, please check out the slide/parts and the serial number. Talk to you later!

DFragmentor Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 (edited) Ah yes that slide does move but not as freely as a trombone slide. As soon as I can I will get some more photos of it. Also there is no stop for this slide. I can pull it all the way out. Just FYI, anyone interested should get this quick. Guy in the Philippines wants it for the full $700. I would rather not ship it there, but if no one else wants it then I will.
