|
|
Wes and Ryan,
Does anyone have an exploded diagram of the inside of the M38 horn or a picture of it? I bought a horn second hand and it did not make any auduble noise when installed. I did have 24 VDC accross it. I split the two halfs and saw allot of corrosion, to I proceeded to disassemble it. I made a drawing of how all the plates stacked under the two center 8/32 screws but cant seem to find it now. Got distracted with my sons baseball game. I cleaned all of the corrosion off of the parts and just needd to go back together to test. Can anyone assist?
Thanks,
Ken |

Ken,
Did you get her back together?
Did you have any luck getting your horns to work? _________________ Ryan Miller

Ryan,
Took the week-end off to honor all of the vets. Thanks by the way for your service to our country. I did not get my original horn back together. Without knowing how the plates to the field are stacked, I did not want to guess. On the replacement horn I bought, I still need to run two independent wires direct from the batteries to prove it out. I will take neg. off of one batt and positive from the other batt. Hope to do it this week. I will let you know how i make out. I sure hope i dont have another dead horn. |

I have an extra non-working horn I will have to see about getting some photos for you. It will be in a week as all this next week is travelling for the Army.
These horns are fairly simple, unless it is corroded badly, it should be repairable. It may need a new capaciter or relay.
I would like to fix my other horn and I would think with a little work and a Radio Shack nearby it would be fixable.
Shoot me an email in a week and lets see what we can do.
P.S.
I need you to take some photos of what you have and label them so I know what you are specifically talking about on the individual parts. _________________ Ryan Miller

Ryan and Wes,
I have the Autolite as my orignal horn. I will need to find the digital cam to take some pictures for you. I have a second horn that also does not work which is the M151 late mititary style that has the riveted front cover on it.
I would really like to restore the Autolite if it does not kill me on cost. It seem to be a pretty simple device.
Thanks,
Ken |
