Cygnet horn bracket placement

Post by Stephen_Heatherly »

For the last couple months I have been restoring and building an Edison standard Model F and recently purchased a very nice Cygnet horn for the machine. The case I am using was originally from a Model E standard and does not have the holes drilled in the back for the Signet horn bracket. Does anybody have any suggestions for determining the proper location where the bracket should be attached to the back of the case in order for the horn to fit properly? Are there any diagrams available for that or anything else that I should look out for when doing it? I will post later a little on how I restored this machine.

Thank you,
Stephen

I wish I had known you needed a case like that. I would have traded you a bottom that is already drilled out for one that is not. Oh well...

Thanks for posting the instructions. The bracket is on the machine and the horn tracks perfectly.
