My friend has a really nice Conn tenor for sale that he refers to as a Chu. According to the serial number chart on Valdermort's site, the Chus ended with 240xxx, and this one is a 243xxx, making it a Tranny. Is this the general consensus of when the models changed?

243xxx still places it solidly in the 'Chu' category, although it will have some subtle transitional features.

I've got a 261xxx which is definitely a tranny but I still consider it a Chu for practical purposes as it is far closer to a Chu than a 10M.

is there an ad for it on the web?

No, he's a local non-internet dealer. He's going to be selling it, but he was wanting me to try and figure out what a fair price is. It was his personal horn, but he's reaching the end of his playing days and is liquidating some stuff.

The alto tranny period started earlier than the tenor; at least by the numbers.

He sold it for $1500.
