A neighbor gave me this air horn. It's a Hadley and he purchased it new in 1966. It has an air pump (works off of a vacuum line) and a storage tank. There are 2 horns that work off a 6V solenoid.
Yes, I've tested it. I did not run the pump off of the intake vacuum yet, but did try it from a hand vacuum I had and the pump does work. It has an internal regulator that keeps the pressure about 80-100 lbs in the storage tank. I did try the horns with compressed air and YES they are VERY LOUD.
I have not taken it apart for cleaning and not sure if I will as long as it works. Also, I haven't looked up the mfg to see if they were even still in business...
Here's a few pics..
Comments welcome?
hadley horns 1 2 3 Not sure where to mount all this at yet. I also might keep my old horn and just add a switch to go to the air horn since they are loud.
Enjoy!
