Bought a nice pair of Auto-Lite, Model HW horns at a swap meet earlier this month. Instead of a screw connector like I’m used to seeing, they have a hole, much like a stereo jack. What sort of connector do I need to look for and what size? I’m thinking it’s something that’s akin to a wired radio ear piece or an electric guitar male plug that I need. Anyone have a photo or a tech sheet they could share?
Thanks

I haven't seen one like that Chuck. Usually the Auto-Lite horns had a male spade terminal sticking out of them. That and ground (provided by mounting) was all I remember.

Perhaps a stud was supposed to be threaded in there? Are you able stick a wire or nail or something in there to make a connection to test its operation?

Have you removed the cover to see what is inside. Perhaps it’s just a grommet to pass a wire thru.
