The YorkMasterPublicPhotos27 Yahoo-group in my brass gallery project has been filled with 27+ MB of .jpg's.
Tubawise the most interesting sample is an Alexander F tuba in a Wiener 3+3RV lay-out. This instrument has been used in the Wiener Statsoper. Even if my source was Austrian, it provided an English description of the valve lay-out:

Another technically interesting sample is a 1895 Lyon & Healy Eb cornet, which displays a clever solution of how to avoid the tuning leadpipe so common in this instrument type:
