I just bought a 1961 Conn 10M from a SOTW member. I had the horn shipped directly to my instrument tech to do some general work (couple pads, general regulation). The tech has informed me:
1. Many of the very small Conn adjustment/lock screws are missing, causes the action to be a little off.
2. Neck is somewhat "bumpy" and may have been the victim of other damage. This is a double socket neck.
Otherwise...keys are in good shape, most pads are fairly new. No dents anywhere but the neck.
I'm having my tech put about $100 worth of work into it, and I'm picking it up this weekend to decide what I want to do with it (dump it or keep it).
- Does anyone know where I could buy replacement screws? (the little itsy bitsy ones)
- What are my options as far as the neck goes? Do I have to stick with the double-socket, or could the horn be modified for other necks? Will only a 10M neck work, or are there other models I might have luck with?
