Valve Guide Information
Original brass Olds valve guides are no longer available from our supplier. These high-quality nylon replacement guides are direct replacements and have proven to be durable and reliable in our repair shop testing.
We have successfully tested these guides in the following vintage F.E. Olds trumpet and cornet models:
-
Olds Ambassador Trumpet (Los Angeles production)
-
Olds Ambassador Trumpet (Fullerton production)
-

Many vintage Olds trumpet and cornet models share the same valve guide design, so these parts may also work with additional F.E. Olds instruments.
