I'm in search of a classic witches-hat style horn for a 1902 Columbia Disc Graphophone AH Early Type. My machine didn't come with one, but after scaling an image of one from a period advertisement, I thought it would be 18" long. But then I found another advertisement and it specifically says that it's 22" long.
Anybody got one of those?
I've also seen past ebay auctions for these early type AH's with horns ranging in size from 19" to 23", so I guess any size horn in that range will do. I believe this puts the bell diameter at around 12 or 13" and the small end that goes into the elbow should be around 1-⅛" diameter. Looks something like this:

Re: WANTED: Columbia Early Type AH Horn
Should the early AH have a leather elbow type horn or is the horn with a brass elbow correct? Jerry Blais

Re: WANTED: Columbia Early Type AH Horn
The early AH machines had a leather elbow. These were the off center crank ones with the metal bed plate on top of the case. The center crank ones in the fancy case and later AH used the metal elbow. For this machine, the brass elbow is correct.

Re: WANTED: Columbia Early Type AH Horn
Piggy backing on Adam's post. I'm still looking for a motor for an early AH. Any hiding out there?
