[T3] The no horn blues

[Dave Hall]

I've mended horns, but assuming you can undo the screws, and the coil isn't faulty, the adjustment screw to get the diaphragm to vibrate correctly is sealed and often so seized with rust that the only way I've managed to adjust the make/break contact is through changing the gasket thickness.  It's not impossible, but as Bob says, it's hit and miss.

Wait, you thought I didn’t know where the stock horn was mounted? :)

My ultimate preference would be to either repair the horn I have (even though no one has suggested that it’s possible) or find a direct replacement….it has such a nice “old" sound. Failing that, the Hella Sharptone sounds pretty good to me or at least better than the Supertone. I don’t think I’ve heard what the dual Ghia horn sounds like.
