Tuning of a 1955 Imperial?

I bought a 1955 Boosey Imperial Eb tuba which seems to tune at A=430.
Is this right? Is there some way I can modify the instrument to get it
to tune at A=442? Could I get a different main tuning slide (custom made or
from an F tuba of the era)? Or is there some other way to shorten the
tubing? How much would need to be cut?
Thank you very much.
