I found a thread from 2009 that talks about a silver Super : http://tromboneforum.org/index.php?topic=47678.msg668351 It's a satin finish as well. I hope shakshak doesn't mind me sharing a couple of his pictures here.

Pictures?

Thanks for all the response!  After hearing some opinions I think I will hold off for the moment.  In the rare event I have money laying around for something I would use as more of a "toy" (A very expensive toy) I will pick one up and let everyone know how I like it.  Until then thanks for the help.

Thanks,

Leo

That makes it even more tempting!  I may need to scrape up some cash!   Once again if anyone with first hand experience could chime in I think I could could be more sure of a purchase.

I'll go with yes.  Listened to Horn of Puente around 10 minutes ago.

Does anybody have any experience with these?  http://www.chasonsmusic.com/hybridcrossovermouthpieces.cfm  I have a friend with some pro trumpets I could borrow and I think this would be a fun combination to use.  I would mainly be using it a combo setting if I were to use it seriously.  Any opinions or information would be awesome.

Thanks,

Sorry for the late reply...I just wanted to say thanks for your little wealth of information.  It definitely opens my mind a lot to how many horns every manufacturing facility may have put out.  You seem to have quite the  experience in this field.  So, once again thanks for clearing that up.

Hey everyone,

Lately my dad and I have been researching the chronology of all the different trombone manufacturers.  Upon going into further detail we believe my olds Opera 0-25 is truly at the end of the line as far as production goes.  It has a serial number of A43XXX.  I would like to know if our conclusions are accurate.  I was also wondering if anybody has a higher serial number.  Here is the link we used for info:  http://rouses.net/trumpet/oldserno.htm

Thanks!

It was indeed a 24H. Hand slide 6 out of 10. Tuning slide had one of the tubes broke off and stuck in the bell section. As for what was lurking under the tape, a very nasty and loose cold solder mess. You could see that a couple of other joints had been repaired too. We did not buy it. Oh yea, the case was a King. Not in very good condition but my son's vintage 2b fit in it perfectly.

This link might work better for identification.

Hi all,

I will be taking a tour of New York with my band this May and I am looking into an "actual" flight case (anvil, waltjohnson, tank, etc.). To my knowledge in 2010 TANK stopped production on all cases.  My question is whether they are being produced again.  I got on their website and from what I gathered they are being produced again.  What throws me off is the fact that they still aren't on hornguys.

If anybody could clarify this for me I would very grateful.

Thanks,
Leo

I have a '73 0-25 (red brass bell, will everything else nickle, has F attachment).  It was somewhat of a gamble when I bought it because I had never played a pro level olds but I was in for surprise.  Mine actually outplays the majority of my other horns.  Every time I play I feel like my abilities skyrocket.  Mine plays with little to no effort need to create a gorgeous tone.  Speaking of tone this horn just sings and the tone is such a rich, silky tone with a certain "sparkle" I can't really describe.

If you have any questions let us know,

Leo
