Retrofitting a tuning slide to a King Tempo

I haven't had much luck finding a replacement tuning slide (used) for my Tempo bell that didn't cost half as much as I paid for the whole horn. Counterweight not important.

I was wondering if a tuning slide from a King 606 would work. Any techs, handy band teachers or King experts know the answer? If so, anyone have one to sell?

Assuming it's an older/nicer Tempo with the curved brace, no... 606 TS/chassis span is much narrower.

Thank you for clearing that up for me.
