6V Horn

Hi,
I have a 1948 ford F1 and the horn blew out, does anyone know a website I can buy one? or does anyone have one available for sale? I tried ecklers and they only have 12V.
Thanks,
Chris

Is the coil burnt?
An original horn can be opened up and generally the points need cleaning.

Hi guys, thanks for the replies. I’ll check Dennis Carpenter. But meanwhile, I just opened up the horn. Not too sure why I’m looking for? How do they look/ what should I do to it?
thanks,
Chris

Could try using a fine point file carefully on the contacts.

Okay, what about the coil pack under the welded on plate. It was covered in black stuff that was loose and flakey
