Ladies & Gentlemen, I obtained an aoooogah horn with my basket-case '40. It's very "lazy" sounding. Opening it revealed the motor, especially the armature, covered with a thin layer of oily dirt/dust. I'm tempted to submerge it in either gas, kerosene or vinegar, then brush and/or blow it clean. Any comments as to my brilliance or my recipe for a ruined armature? I'm all ears - thanks much. Barney

None of the above. Try a spritz of WD-40. It will clean and lube.

hi post a photo of the horn, to see what you are dealing with, who is the maker ? 6 volt or 12 volt, ? DODGE BROTHERS, used a aoo ga horn and it was 12 volts, I use 320 wet and dry sand paper to clean the copper arm and use ELECTRIC MOTOR CLEANER, have this is many many time with great success hope this helps. 37Ragtopman
