Hello All!
My son plays Euph at a pretty fair high school level. He currently has a Yamaha 321 that is serving him pretty well. Considering a bump up though. There are two used Bessons on ebay currently. Both have minor (or hopefully minor) issues that are bringing them squarely into our price range (as close to $3k as we can manage. Hoping that someone would be willing to offer some input. The first is a little older:

Seller says Serial was buffed off during previous refurb but suggests date in the 70's or so. Understand this may have been built prior to model numbers/names that I'm familiar with.
Second one has some serious finish issues and since I'm a trumpet player I have a morbid fear of red-rot, but this seems pretty well distributed for that, maybe just poor prep before finishing. Will probably need 500$ or so refinish to make it look good, if that becomes important.

Any feedback would be most appreciated. Thank You.
