after restoring, I might actually plate it (silver or gold) and make more $$$..ofc, if it were a NY or Mt. Vernon you'd make more but a 1970 Elkhart is still a sought after era...
I am not yet sure if I am going to get it silver plated or lacquered. I will probably take a poll and see what my viewers think I should do. There are some reasons for both.
I really hope that valve block is in better condition than it looks. This project cost you more than all but maybe 3 of my horns (IIRC), and two of those were purchased new. ☹
i dont know if anyone else has done this but when i give a trumpet a bath and really cant get a valve cap off i just use a rag and pliers so its not metal to metal and it has never scratched anything.
Cant wait to see you give this trumpet new life! Looking forward to these videos!
It’s finally here!!!
Blessings to you my friend I can't wait to see the end result
Hi Art! Wow, you have your work cut out for you on this one. I can’t wait to see the you do your magic. Have a blessed day!
Yes!!! Was waiting for this
Looking forward to this series. I know you will work wonders with this trumpet.
Great to see another video; I look forward to them!

One day man will make telescopes that can see atoms
All up to valve casing inside. If it's scratched or worn it's a total loss.
Wish you good luck!😂

penetrating oil and heat and then the rest of the magic applied I bet you can fix this.
Sir I want to connect you how can..... Sir please it's arjent 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
It's a shame that Evaporust only works on steel. Pickling that thing in appropriate chemicals for a day or two would probably do it a world of good.
So, are you happy or disappointed that it's so awful? Awful makes better videos.
I love a challenge, so I am happy it is bad. As a bonus; it looks a lot worse than it is (I think).
