Hey Mojo,
Glad that worked out for you.
I did tje same thing with the 925e without success. The design has long rods which are prone to bending and, due to length and how the keywork is designed, difficult to note quickly.
Low G required too much effort and the horn was constantly out of adjustment (I'm probably not as gentle as I should be putting it into the car, but I'm usually juggling a couple of other instrument cases).
The Selmer Series 9 I now play (my 3rd or 4th Series 9 bass) has wonderful feel, with solid keywork design, intonation and tone.
Granted: finding a vintage bass clarinet that plays well can be a challenge, with adjustments I ended up paying $3K for a low C bass, which I think was well worth the investment.
I happened to luck out.
