He would be able to fabricate the slide you want. Alex tubing is 12mm and standard US tubing is 11.89mm. The proper tubing can be purchased here in the US but not many shops have it on the shelf. The Jack Attack! Jack, Randy _is_ my repair person. Getting it from Alexander was his idea. -S- ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org

Re: [Hornlist] Custom slide for 70's Alex
Steve, A few years ago, I needed a similar setup for my Paxman. Rather than go thru the manufacturer, I visited a competent repairman in my area, who made for me two identical, straight tubes (male on one end, female on the other). So, I am now able to insert the two straight slides into the desired slide receiver on the horn, and then add the existing slide to the top, connecting the new slides. If nothing is physically in the way on your Alex that would prevent, this may work for you if you remain unsucessful in contacting them.

Does anyone have an email or telephone number for Alexander they know will be answered, or is it just that they are on vacation in August or something like that? This is a custom horn from the 1970's.

Re: [Hornlist] Custom slide for 70's Alex
the cylindrical tubing on an Alex is about .2 mm larger than US horns. The stock tubing in US shops is too small.
