Nice video. Thanks for sharing. I played a MK VI alto, tenor and soprano in school marching and jazz bands, but definitely did not keep mine in this good condition. But they're still fun to play now and then.
Mark VI necks sent for the US market had the serial number stamped (not engraved) on its ring up to around serial number 140k. Those sold in Europe never did. Your 236k is within the last 3000 made. VI’s ran up to 239k.
the first Mark VI tenor sold in the US was serial 53727 as described by historian Douglas Pipher here ruclips.net/video/OTqhXG9Mq84/видео.htmlsi=WtDgVpbAoPu5jXRU

I own the first "official" MK VI tenor sold in the USA. I bought it from the original owner. #55001 Had a high F# feature as an option.
WOW! That's incredibly cool I'd love to see pictures and hear a play test feel free to DM me @John.petrucelli.sax to continue the conversation :)
