Tom -
There's a FAQ on the TubaEuph site dealing with this:

If you're serious about this, maybe the best thing for you to do is to contact a few of the treatment places and see if they can give references. Here are a few firms that do cryogenic treatment of brass instruments:

http://www.pm300.com/music.html
http://www5.pair.com/blood/sealsinc/cryo.htm

http://www.cryopro.com/music.htm
I was surprised at the number of outfits offering the treatment. That could be because it's popular or perhaps any idiot with a big dewar full of liquid N2 can set up shop. If you do decide to go ahead, I'd be interested to hear your evaluation.
