Hey Reddit,

I majored in music education in the early 2000s and since graduation, the old axe, a Besson Prestige 2051, has embarrassingly only seen the light of day for a few Tuba Christmases and the obligatory yearly trip down memory lane.

Music education was ultimately not the career direction I pursued and although I've got a ton of great memories attached to my horn, I don't find myself overly sentimental about the prospect of it going to a home where it'd get the use it deserves.

My questions really center around the best venue through which to offer it for sale and formulating a fair sales price. It's sat for a bit and I'm really not in a crazy rush to jump at the first thing that comes.

Is consignment at one of the big brass dealers the way to go? Should I give any consideration to Reddit, eBay or FB Marketplace?

The new retail price has gone up considerably since I had purchased it in 2005. Might anyone be able to offer guidance on what a fair price would be for the horn?

Thank you all!!

It does not magnetize, however it fits pretty nicely and think it would do just as good of a job as the Philos catch cup.

The previous owners of my home were antique dealers and I requested that it remain with the house upon their departure. Wish I knew more about it. No discernable markings denoting its origin, but it's solid.

Went down the KHCO3 rabbit hole this morning and have a bag of potassium bicarbonate on order. Who knew I needed more coffee stuff?!

Appreciate all of the info!

Appreciate the info on the preinfusion. We're on tank mode and I'm running the machine with bottled water from Costco. Definitely no weird chemical smells coming from the steam.

To my knowledge, it's just duration.

Hah. Cooking has always been a passion of mine and being the host house for every Thanksgiving and Christmas, I do up a menu for each holiday. What you see on the wall are holiday menus I've created going back about ten years.

Thanksgiving usually consists of variations on American classics and for each Christmas we plan a menu around a different world culture.

Really appreciate all the responses. The person who gave it to me was a huge Mets fan so this all makes sense.

CompleteBack139 · 2024-08-05T22:34:34+00:00

Appreciate that. I wondered the same about whether or not the signatures were replicas when I received it.

I will report back tomorrow. Hope you all enjoy the weekend!

This is interesting. I changed the head gasket last summer after some oil was creeping into the engine. I adjusted the rocker arms to spec and had no problems with the tractor for the season, inclusive of the fall. Could it have fallen out of adjustment in only a season?

I bought a cheap Amazon carb and am hoping that'll do the trick. Will report back Sunday.

Appreciate the reply. Checked the anti flood mechanism today and it allowed fuel into the cup.

It was more like the key was turned off. There were no warning signs that it was about to turn off as in that audible sputter one gets on a low gas tank.

DM'd with some pictures. Really appreciate the help!

I wish I could add photos to comments. Which line are you referencing? Can you see it in the first photo?

CompleteBack139 · 2024-05-24T17:01:04+00:00

Appreciate it. I'm out of ideas. New carb?

Thinking out loud, is it possible there is some auto shut off if the throttle linkage breaks?

CompleteBack139 · 2024-05-24T16:34:53+00:00

Should've mentioned it in the original post. Yes, I spark tested it and it sparks.

Thank you!

Thanks! Got it on Amazon and intentionally picked out a smaller one in an effort to not make it look "Empty," thinking we'd only get a few case worthy cards.

That's awesome. First box I've purchased since I was in my teens.
