Here's how I re-built a vintage electric horn off my Elgin:
First...Start with an old horn:
Then go buy some NEW components...
Here we go....!
First, Remove the old horn...
Then I "trial fit" the new components...
Close...
Ok...Modify The Horn By Cutting Off One "Ear"...
Got It!!
Ok...Install The New Horn...
9v Battery Goes Here...(What Luck... :mrgreen: )
Next...Clean Up The Switch...
Now Solder The Neg. Lead...
Now Solder The Other Neg. Lead...
Put Her back together and...DONE!
ENJOY!!! Oh, How I wish we had sound.... :wink:
