For you repairmen/builders/tinkerers:
What is involved (materials, labor, COST$$$) when converting a left hand operated 5th valve to a right thumb operated 5th valve? I have been eyeing a used Rudy 5/4 F but it has a left hand 5th valve, which I don't care for. If I try it, and it's a fantastic horn that matches me well, I'll suck it up and pay for the conversion, unless the cost of conversion is prohibitive. Also, is it cheaper to get factory linkage or custom made by a repairman? Thanks for the info.
