  • This old tool restoration is an old Ahooga horn. Some call it Ahooga or Ooga or a Klaxon horn. I was told this one was from a model T Ford.

    Beautiful job. I bought one of those back in early 1973, Pep Boys, @ $18. Still got it. Many laughs, it’s mounted on my 2013 Tacoma.

    I just finished restoring one of these and I have one suggestion, when you paint the mounting bracket, you will need to run a ground wire because the mounting bracket is the main ground to this one wire horn. Painting it causes a potentially bad ground issue.

    That looks like a hutchins ooga horn and it was an accessory for vehicles they were made back in the 40s, 50s i believe, but they are a perfect replica from the original but you did an amazing job restoring it 👍

    I have this exact horn from my 1967 Ford Falcon van. It wasn’t working so I took it apart and it looks like water was sitting inside and it all crusty. Going to try and clean it and free it up. The case and horn part are soaking in vinegar right now to clean the surface rust. What did you put the parts in after sandblasting them? Good video! Thanks!

    • @vintagemachineworks
      @vintagemachineworks  2 года назад

      The parts where put into Evaporust, This step can be skipped if there is no imbedded rust. Thanks for watching.

    I recognize that model, with the thin chrome and blue motor cover. I bought one, brand new, in an auto parts store in the early 1980s.

    I have one of these that I'm trying to get back working... is there a specific adjustment for the screw in the resonator plate? Also the washer has separated from the gear on mine. Looks like it's just a press fit, nothing too serious I don't think.

    • @vintagemachineworks
      @vintagemachineworks  3 года назад +2

      I don't think the exact position of the adjustment screw in the resonator is too critical. Thanks for watching

  • @jsimm4587
    @jsimm4587 Год назад

    You should have tuned it . The adjustment is down the horn throat . Newer ones don’t have the sound of a model A type why ?

  • @frankmoyer5822
    @frankmoyer5822 2 года назад +1

    Question: can I hook this horn up to 12 volt with ground and a momentary switch to positive.
    Or should I use a relay on the grounded side?
    Or is it 6 Volt?

    • @vintagemachineworks
      @vintagemachineworks  2 года назад

      This one is 12 volt but 6 volt ones where made. Either wiring method you mentioned should work

    This was never on a New Model T Ford. I believe it's a Hutchins horn sold by J.C. Whitney and many others in the 1950s and later. When painted black, they're a dead ringer for the Sparton Model A horns.
