Vintage 1966 Buescher 400 Alto Saxophone - Make an Offer!!

Description

This Buescher 400 alto sax was made in about 1966 according to its serial number (#421xxx). We believe the lacquer is original. It has considerable scratches and lacquer wear on the body but no signs of significant previous damage or repair. The neck has been bent down a bit at some point and the octave key post foot has been resoldered (see pics). About 2/3rds of the snaps for the snap in pads are still present and the pads are in average condition.  The Norton screw-in style springs are still present. All keys work freely. This horn plays very well but could benefit from a complete repad to be in top playing condition.
The case is a Conn case in good condition, with only a bit of damage to the plastic on two corners. Both the interior and exterior of the case look good. The handle, latches and hinges all work well.
All reasonable offers considered.
