Horns

[Hukah]

Good morning group.
I couldn’t find a general discussion about accessories so delete if not appropriate to post here.
I came across these horns recently and am hoping that some of the knowledgeable folks can tell anything about them.
They work but need some TLC.
The one with the gold nut is like a “quack”, and the other is like a “cricket” noise.
Thanks for looking

The accessories are called Klaxons (or ooga-ooga horns?).
The one with the 5-screws (and brass side hardware) is the good one; the other usually makes the grinding sound that you hear.

I’m assuming there must be some adjustment with the front screw that tunes these horns?
The 5 screw doesn’t oogah it more like a quack.

I recently bought a Seiss horn with the plunger on the top like Klaxon horn. This thing sounds like a sick duck. Makes an annoying squawking sound. yes, I oiled it and adjusted it. I was wondering if the Klaxon horns make a better sound, more like an aaaoogghaa horn. Thats really what i was...

Thank you for that.

I did adjust the Klaxon horn and you can almost hear the oogah, but I guess that’s as good as it gets with these, from what I’ve read.
Thanks for the info, guys.
I now know that I have a Klaxon and a Seiss horn.
Peace

Some are better than others... still sure to bring smiles in passing!

I agree. I kinda like the sound of the seiss, and it'll get someones attention, that's for sure.
