12V horn that sounds vintage... - Ruairidh Dunford - 18-05-2022

Has anyone experience of any modern horns that both look and sound vintage, in 12v, please?

This is the same as the 6 volter I have on the RP, but in 12 volt version:

I just painted mine black. It is VERY loud when you need it to be.

    No but this pair of air horns has the desired effect on wayward moderns. The Benjamin horns work well on 12 volts but the Rist horns don't like it and I've used a dynamo field resistor to drop the voltage.
