Folks, I have worked on all five makes of original Model A Horns, and they all have center mounted armatures with field coils on each side of the armature opposite each other mounted on the motor strap. The above Sparton sheet metal looks OK and looks Model A, but that motor is for a different...

I am still searching for an early 1928 Model A Ford AMES cap, the one with the two parallel ribs on the top. Anyone have one of these for sale or trade?

John, Do you have any of the Model T jacks left? I need a script one to give to a neighbor that inherited his Uncle's T roadster PU. Bennett Young

Rog, If it is the later repro horns as sold by Bratton's, they are a decent horns(although they are a ******* to work on the motors), if it is a 60's Jubilee or Hutchins I recommend you buy an original horns, unless you enjoy the harassment of Model A purists. When I see a 60's repro...

Rog, You cap should have Model FM followed by the manufacturer's address heavily embossed on the top of the one piece cap; the early version had a one piece domed cap with the adjustment screw and hold down screw very close. The later version, mid 28 through 29 had a cap also with Model FM...

Rowdy, I would get the stamped Reproduction labels from A&L install on the Sparton caps, and provide the original labels with the horns when you sell. I have seen the recent reproduction labels from Bratton's and they are quite nice, I sure the A&L ones are also, the older reproduction labels I...

Carl, Still looking for one of those early ribbed AMES cover. I really do not know of a source that reproduces them, and I do restore horns. Bennett

Was listening to the news, then Obama came on informing me on his deficit reduction ideas, now I listening to the April winds in the western foothills of Colorado, I think I prefer the wind and reading the comments.:)

Model A Folks; I am in need of an early AMES(early 1928) Ahooga horn cap that fits the AMES horn with the label on the trumpet(or snout). Please write if you have one. Sincerely, Bennett Y.

Folks, I restore Model A Ford Horns, sold over 100 in the past few years. Currently I have decent un-restored and restored Stewart/Warners, Spartons, AMES and EA horns for sale or trade. I will sell a completely restored horn , a completely serviced un-restored horn or a completely untouched...

Friends, I have just picked up an Early 1928 AMES Model A Ahooga Horn with the label on the trumpet. Nice horn, but I need a ribbed cap. Does anyone know of any decent used or possibly decent reproductions of these ribbed early 1928 caps? I have contacted A&L back east but they have not gotten...

Sir, I am aware of the correct nuts and bolts and the thin coat of black enamal, and that is how I try to restore them, pitted horns are a problem, takes more than one coat and they never make show horns, but a show horn S/W should be essentially rust free, and I have run across some very nice...

Folks, if this Sparton Label issue is going on with judges, I recommend using Stewart/Warner Horns with excellent deep stamped markings and avoid the Sparton label issues, frankly I have done dozens of Spartons and NEVER have run across a decent looking un-restored label. I would surely love to...

If you have any of those NOS labels, I would certainly be interested. I did not know that labels were now part of the judging, but in Western Colorado, we drive our Model A's, since there are no clubs over here, only in Eastern Colorado. Is the Sparton label issue covered in the latest...

Unfortunately these show up on the EBay place all to often, and of course, the Hutchins with the Sparton Tag is immediately an original Sparton, and the idiots selling will not listen to reason when you explain what has happened, so your report them to the EBay place as a fradulent listing, and...
