sftamx1 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I misplaced my horn tuning instructions, so can anyone help with tuning these beauties? I have tuning skills, just need the interval and how to adjust. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sftamx1 Posted July 31, 2022 Author Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) So funny, so helpful. So old, right up there with the overused "it'll buff out"😆 Edited July 31, 2022 by sftamx1 Added to (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloo Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 On any of them you are adjusting the tension on the mechanism or diaphragm. If you don't see an adjuster sticking out of the flat bottom toward the ground, then it's probably hidden under those domed covers. My guess is the domed covers have a screw in the middle holding them on. Someone else will have to come up with the interval. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sftamx1 Posted July 31, 2022 Author Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) Mine are new. I don't think they are Klaxon... they are an entirely different type of horn, and they are a pair. They work great! Edited July 31, 2022 by sftamx1 More explanation (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloo Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 If they are new there could be anything inside there. On this one below, there is right at the center a threaded shaft that apparently goes to the diaphragm. There are 2 nuts there in the center, presumably an adjuster and a jam nut. It might be important to hold the second wrench solid so you aren't twisting things up too much. The tension on the mechanism and the diaphragm probably all gets changed together. On something more modern I would expect them to move the adjuster off to the side somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
