I need a donor for my trumpet horn, since the one I've got doesn't seem to want to fire. All I need is the back guts...but I'll take any horn you're willing to give me. In case you're wondering what a trumpet horn is, it's the 4th horn in the sequence with the 4-note horn option. It looks like a little trumpet and the other 3 look the same as a normal horn. Here are some pictures of the horn disassembled. This is after I cleaned the contacts and made sure I have power to it. It gets power and magnetizes, but for some reason, it won't fire. Maybe the madnet is too weak? That's all I can think of. I also dipped it into some Evapo-rust to get rid of any crap buildup that might have interfered,,,still didn;t work. So now I ask, who has a horn I can cannibalize?
I suppose any Buick from that era... If you've got any Big Buicks sitting around, I'm sure any of those would work!
Riv. horns If you are still looking for the horns, I *might* have what you are looking for. I had a 71 Riv that I parted out. My brother is supposed to look for them tonight, I'll send pics tomorrow if we find them. I have several '71 Riv parts on ebay if you are interested. :laugh: Phil
Riv horn Adam, Here they are... Pic attached. All four work. The long trumpet horn sounds kinda weenie but I don't know what it is supposed to sound like. I would like to get rid of them as a set. Looks like in a previous post they were worth 35 plus shipping if that sounds good you can send payment via paypal. Let me have your zip and I will figure shipping.... Phil
Phil, I'll take everything there for the $35 plus shipping. ZIP 63304 I'll send you a PM with more info. Pat, I know you're cringing, but I have a plan. If I can get my other one to work, I'll send you the horn for shipping costs only. Fair? I know you're out to get one of these as well. I hate to take something away from ya, but I do need one that works. I'm currently getting parts from Yardley so I can try to get the other one working again. I'll let ya know!:TU:
Fair is fair Entirely fair, Adam. Your thread and you were first in line. Did you get my email?? Let me know if you have a castoff, and don't forget - I have a bunch of trading horns (but I think now, so do you! )
I'm at my parents house for dinner and haven't gotten back to my bachelor pad yet today. :grin: I'll check my email later tonight!
and I would've bought them too....probably.. Unless Pat and I were to get into a bidding war:laugh: I'm curious what they would bring in the market. I don't see them on ebay... I saw a couple sets for Caddies when I was looking, but forgot to note their ending bid prices.
