What other Bach or other manufacturers slides fit the 42?

In short: The Bach 50 slide generally will. There is a little variation between generations of Bach so that one might be a little loose compared to another, but 42 and 50 slides will very generally fit a Bach 42 or 50 bell section.
Most of the time Edwards T327, T350, and T454 (medium, large, and bass bore) slides will fit as well.
There are some models of Courtouis that will fit as well. Not sure which ones though.
Shires slides will typically be a little loose on a 42 bell but can work in a pinch. Can also swap out the tenon on the slide for a Bach tenon.

Olds Opera slide fits a 42.

Old Getzen slides have Bach tenons.
Holton slides have a very similar tenon.
The Yamaha 830 fits too, I think. It fit on a Shires.

Holton slides are too small for a 42 bell section...

Could you elaborate? I'm genuinely curious. Thanks!

Holton large bore tenors have a unique Holton tenon which won't fit a Bach 42. Holton basses on the other hand have the same tenon as a Bach 50B but different threads, so the slide won't screw down. My Holton TR185 slide for example fits perfectly on my Shires bass but doesn't screw down.

I'm not 100% that they do fit as I have never tried, but if any fits, I would assume it would be the 420-series models

I know for sure that one of the Courtouis basses fits Edwards/Bach receivers as I had a dual bore 562/578 slide that I let someone borrow. They really liked the way it played but ultimately ended up swapping out the leadpipe on the Courtouis and liked the results of that.

The AC550 didn't seem to have a Bach tenon.
