KLAXON 8C Ahooga Horn Delco Remy

A 6 volt Klaxon Horn from the early 1900's. It's been repainted with a dent or two on the cone, but it is really good shape. Classic sound which is a real head turner. PLEASE NOTE that I am only using a lantern battery folks...thus the sound is a little strained and not a true representation.

UPDATE: Ok I need to clarify in order to stop all of the arguing and emails I am still getting to this day. I made this video so that I could sell the horn, which I did to a happy enthusiast. Now, how I shot the video seems to be the source of all the confusion. I wanted to show the horn up close so potential buyers can view it. But there is no way that I could do this and actually activate the horn at this close proximity and get the sound with completely distorting the sound in the video. So I took the horn out to a field and set the camera to record about 40 feet away. I was leaning in the car window and connecting the the terminal of the battery to the horn to generate the sound. I had to do this because when the horn was outside of the car it was still distorting the audio. I took this audio and merged it with the footage you see here. I could have done this on my front porch where I shot the video, but this horn freaking LOUD and it was a Sunday evening and didn't want to disturb the neighborhood. Incidentally, this was summertime when I shot this and the sun doesn't set until almost 11 pm. So I hope this settles the arguments and emails...lol.

hey kinda old video i know but how much did you sell this horn for? I have the $60 remake klaxon model (the red plastic one) and am interested in one of these, wondering prices ranges.

@Stingray7667 it was so long ago I can't remember. But I have heard the plastic one's and feel they are not the same sound quality. But these can be hard to come by. I wish the sound quality of the video was better because this horn was actually quite loud. As I mentioned on an earlier post, I actually recorded the horn from a distance and overlaid the sound on the video. The original sound was completely distorted because the horn was so close to the camera. Good luck!

How does this video get 89,099 views? Wow...interesting.

[POPPASHANGO]

@XxWaterDancerxX LOL... Honestly ... I have no idea!

[Audinos]

These horns use a motor-driven toothed wheel which ratchets against a metal stud attached to a diaphragm. After all those years, either the wheel or the stud are probably worn to nothing. Replace them and it will probably be much louder.

@XxWaterDancerxX haha i think it's because it is the related video of the scene in The Mask where Jim Carrey sees Cameron Diaz and goes nuts, saying AAAOOOOOGAAAAAAAH
