Olds S-22 with Dual Axial Valves

First, I want to thank Kevin at Heritage Music for another amazing job. Last year, he converted my Reynolds Contempora from a closed wrap to an open wrap.
This project started off with a broken lever on the Olds. I found a technician that was able to mend a new lever, but the rotor was warped. So a new rotor was needed. And if you're replacing one, why not add a second one. The valves are sourced from Instrument Innovations.
I decided to go with a satin finish and I couldn't be any happier. They even have an Olds S-22 in the shop, so it's like a before and after shot.
