Sparton musical horns - Repair/restorattion to make them work - WHO?


Recommended Posts

George Jepson in NJ used to restore these to get them to work and sound properly and to some extent the Horn shop in central NY state; both are gone. Who can get one to work properly ( cosmetic restoration is not a concern - working well is) for a cost that is somewhat under the national debt? Please let me know if you have had this done, not looking for guesses, but facts from someone who has had one restored and h=is happy with the results.

Thanks

Walt:

 I attempted to redo mine "35 BUCKS" using linen tracing cloth for the gaskets. I was able to get a somewhat anemic sound when the diaphragms were tuned for best response My issue is I need to re-bush the motor to get a stronger air flow.
