I got BBb reliable helicon (of ebay for ~$400 and picked it up from a store on Long Island a few years ago. Only time took the ferry from Bridgeport)

I kinda liked it as one of the lighter shoulder mounted noise makers, not always the easiest to play, but ya could get something satisfying out of it if ya worked at it...

Always wondered what the significance of "reliable" was. Not as gaudy a model name as some.
