Default Delco Horn Rebuild

I had found some original 280 279 horns. Date codes are 69 but there so hard to read its not even worth mentioning what they are.

Neither one worked no matter how many times i smacked them. Repair included taking out all the rivets to split the horns from the electroncis. Both diaphrams were rusted swiss cheese. I found some donor horns and harvested parts including a new coil as I had a bad one. Riveted the units back together and painted. Played with the tone adjust some and there as good as new.
