[Trombone-l] Old and New Parts

[Dave and Pam Sherman]

I would caution you on the 50H slide.  The 50H had problems with pitting 
on the inner tubes.  I'm not sure what years were involved.  Also I 
doubt that the lead pipes are the same as the 78H.  That being said, I 
have replaced the inner tubes on a couple of 50H's and replaced the 
leadpipe on one with one from a Conn 88H (.525bore).  It is now a great 
playing slide.  I think that the slides are interchangeable but I defer 
to someone who knows for sure.  The 50H slide fit a 76H century that I 
had.  I would consider having your 78H slide rebuilt.

Regards,
