    AH-OOOO-GGAA???

    I acquired this horn from an elderly neighbor of mine. He had to be near his 90's and I think he said this came out of his car??? Anyway, I was hoping someone on here could give me some idea of what it might have come from and what type of sound would it make.

    I will have to search through the posts later to see how to test it safely, but for now, I was just curious. I don't want to bother if it doesn't have a "truck" sound. (does that sound prejudiced?) :rolleyes:

    It looks to me like it could very possibly be an aftermarket musical horn. No offense but I hate those things LOL!

    Aren't you the lucky boy ! that's the basic musical horn from the 40's , I see you really lucked out and got the buttons part too .

    It'll be a 6 volt horn so consider powering it through a ballast resistor .

    No offense but I LOVE those things ! :D
