Every year at Hershey, this is a gentleman who repairs Model A horns. I think he is called The Horn Man. I have lost his business card. Anyone know his phone # or email address. I think he is from NY. Thanks
 
Can't one buy some 23 gauge wire and rewind the armature? Or is that some foolishness I read somewhere? It sounded easy to do and wasn't requiring a lot of practice and special tools. Even the winding itself was touted as being very forgiving and actually better if it wasn't done up perfectly. I'm going to give it a try soon so will post the result, or lack thereof.
Electrical Ace I am not.
 
Hi Dave, you just need to rewind the field coils, not the armature. Easy to do just make sure you wind them the just like they were, one is CW the other is CCW.
How is your AC working?
