The Conn Victor is all patched up!  The second valve slide is still stuck, but I am sticking penetrating oil on it daily, and hoping I can get it unstuck without unsoldering the crook.  I have pictures of the patch work i did on the mouth pipe.  I also did a little work on the pistons.  They were mashed up on the bottom ends.  It still needs a polishing, a play test, and the second slide unstuck, but it is otherwise finished!

I started with a card stock pattern, and then cut it out of nickel silver

I annealed the pice, then started forming it on a mandrel

This is what happens to your finger when you don't have good aim

I had to tin the inside of the patch before I soldered it 

The end product looked like this

I also soldered on the a missing piece from the main tuning slide and did some dent work on the pistons
