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.

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!
