Not a PT-6 but found a very interesting Rudi 5/4 CC I'm picking up here in a few weeks from a board member.

I'm Todd and I approve of this message.

You look good with rotors!

I just posted a FB link on a '62 BBb near me. Tempting...

Update -- sorted out all the rattles on this one. Part of the bell rim had come unsoldered, but the biggest culprit was the fifth circuit tubing was loose and buzzing on D and E. Fixed, plays great. Did some dent work on the big outer branches as well -- I wasn't able to get all of them through the guard, but it's a lot better now. I haven't been able to put this one down.

That's awesome, but sssshhh! Don't let Rudy hear you say this!

I think there's a place for two awesome CC tubas at arpthark's!

Glad you're enjoying your 186CC, I think I'll put the PT-15 in timeout and honk on mine tomorrow!

Trying to avoid the PT-15 I am.....but she's sitting in front of the 186. Strength needed.

I'm alternating between the 186CC and the PT-15. Wow, they feel so similar, the -15s just easier up high, and the 186 down low.

I think I've got a couple of winners!
