Sounds like there’s a niche open for a small-time operator who did motor repairs and had a big stock of good sheet metal parts so he could fully restore cores. |

Purchasing the "core" horn, parts needed to restore the horn (tag, screen, etc.), hardware plating, sandblasting, priming and painting of the horn, and the associated materials would likely exceed any profit that makes it worthwhile. Then add in my time. Just the amount of time to prep the area to prime or paint, and the clean up afterwards is several hours! |

Re: New Ahooga Horns from Suppliers
What hitman says is pretty much true across the board.
Ask Brentwood Bob how profitable selling rebuilt shocks is. a labor of love. |

Re: New Ahooga Horns from Suppliers
It is worth noting that while the new A&L horns were very close to being aesthetically correct, they are not close enough to be judged in MARC/MAFCA competition. I think there will always be a place for the reproduction horns within the hobby, AND for the horn restorer too.
