RE: [T3] horn internals


I can't remember exactly how these work. I had the one on my bus fail So I
replaced it with a new one. A few years later the replacement died. I still
had the orginal, so I remember taking it apart, cleaning up the connections
in it, and it worked again.

I believe there is a small screw on it, that you use to adjust the pitch.
But if the screw is either too tight or too loose-you don't get any sound.
The idea was to set the screw in the right spot, then seal it/secure it in
place with some caulk or something...

That's how I remember it, but I did it a few years ago...

    Any ideas?  This is such a simple circuit, but I really don't 
understand what creates the vibration/oscilation.  The crud was on what 
I believe is the "hammer" tip.  I'm sure I can get another horn, but now 
I'm curious how it works.
