Horns

[wendmd91]

3 complete clear hooter horns
1 clear hooter horn apart
1 Ford seashell type horn

I would consider these all cores. Make Ann offer on one piece or all. Located in zip 14025. I’m not a sunbeam guy. Going through a collection and will be listing more soon.

Ok probably not the place to say how do you fix these....
But I have one that works appears to be NOS that works one that also looks new and several also that don't work. I've had vintage similar type of horns in old bikes etc. that just look unserviceable .
Outside of grinding off the metal pieces that hold the horn together and cleaning or replacing the guts what will make em work?

I have taken the horns off all of my Tigers, to block the "horn holes"

BUT, the horns that I have played with seem to be quite Voltage

sensitive.

Some make NO sound using just a Battery!

BUT, fire up the engine and the added charging system voltage

Magically makes the Horns PLAY.

YMMV

Ok so I'll start by hooking up to a 18 volt cordless tool battery..

Typical automotive horns can draw 5-6 Amps at 13.8 volts and might pull 7-8 Amps at 18 volts.

The guts are pretty simple; basically just a speaker with a return spring and breaker points.

I recall adjustment process and amperage draw specs are provided in the WSM.
