Altette horn - Paul Nott - 27-06-2019
My Seven special's horn was mounted on the bonnet cross bar and was far to heavy, causing the bar to bow and rattle like billy oh.
I ordered a replacement, duly arrived a few days later,
only to find my cheap China made 6v horn did not work!
Decided to try and mount the original elsewhere and after seeing a Cup model on the web decided to mount in a similar position.
The horn was a little tatty so i cleaned and repainted, the model is a 935 HF Lucas Altette service number 700 315.
Can anyone tell me anything about this type of horn and its age, I'm thinking its 1930s?
Now painted it looks great and after 80 plus years still sounding good, which is more than can be said of the cheap Chinese rubbish!
