Your right, it may be the previous owner had issues with wires coming out, I don't know tbh. Now I know how the horns work I will have a look at the points and clean them up and set the gap properly to see if they work any better.
I'm sure the capacitor/ condenser is fine, it's just the outer shield on the wire connected to it is damaged. I could put some heat shrink over the wire to ensure its protected again though.
