Horn finish ?
What is the correct finish for the horn adjusting screw and the motor cover screw and the rim screws and nuts ? Are they all black paint or something else ?
Thanks Jon in Ohio |

Re: Horn finish ?
Actually the adjusting screw and cover screw are cad plated, LW plain. The rim bolts (special round head ones) and the nuts are raven finished.

Re: Horn finish ?
31Tudor is correct. Also, the mounting bracket and the bug screen were raven finished as well.
These items were not painted and should not be today. Hope all of this information is a big help to you. Regards, Neil Stegall THE HORN MAN 601-469-0878 |

My original 1928 Sparton horn had a painted flat screen and some of the screen holes were filled with paint. I'd guess the horn trumpet was dipped, as the horn rear cover was. There should be a round felt washer around the horn adjustment screw, and it fits between the motor frame and horn cover.

Where does this information come from? The 2011 revisions of the RG&JS does not address this. |

This is great information for the restoration of a horn and can you please tell us just where you found that information regarding the screen and bracket being "raven finish"? Also I am at a loss here but what is your method, after the horn bell, as one might call it, is painted, just what is your method of getting that screen in place without scratching the newly painted bell? I have tried several times but the bell always gets scratched somehow. We would sure like to know your secret if you wish to share. Thanks Neil.
