Stuart,
I did try the electronic repair shops here, with no luck. Some people call it a capacitor, some call it a resistor. In the trumpet style horn the original part looks like layers of foil and paper rolled around a tar like plug in the center. I have been told that it is to keep the points in the horn from burning out. I have working ramshorn horns in the truck, I just thought it would fun to have one of the original style horns under the hood. Jimmie.
