I believe York's are Conn Stencils. There are two really shot up Conn Baris on eBay right now, both are only good for parts. Perhaps one of them has a neck you can use.

I think the monster that eats socks out of a washing machine must have a cousin that eats saxophone necks. Where do all these missing necks go?

Thanks for your advice OnyxSax. The Conn neck does not fit the York, the York has a much smaller diameter. I bought one of the old Baritones. As I have one (complete, and only a few numbers from the one for sale, but it has been heavily buffed, and the original silverplating has been removed as well, exept on the keys, so by matching these two, I will get a very beautifull Baritone (I hope)

Good luck on your "Frankenstein" baritone. Should be interesting to see the final results.
