Jimmie D,

I use deals called MOV's at work when I need to quench an arc at a contact. They are 'metal oxide varistors' and are wired in parallel with the contacts. I wonder if Radio Shack might have these items. Maybe it takes a special deal on the contacts in a horn...don't they open and close a bazillion times a minute to make the TOOT!
