Not quite repair but...

This isn't quite repair, but I found it very interesting! I worked at King/UMI Eastlake factory for about 8 years. I built tubas and sousaphones and did a lot of the inhouse repairs for large brass. Left right before the strike. We were not building horns this way! No more craftsmanship like this. Just piece work. Get them out the door as fast as possible. It was the reason I left.
