Hi,
I am looking for the brass connector sleeve on an Edison 11 panel cygnet horn. The bell is complete but the swan-neck is missing the brass connecting sleeve with the two mounting holes and the locking hook.
Is there anyone who has reproductions?
Thanks
Cygnet horn connector

What am I missing? The curved goose neck appears complete to me. And you say the bell is complete as well? Jerry

I believe he is showing an example of the part he needs which is missing from the lower part of his horn. This horn is not the problem horn.Jerry B. wrote:What am I missing? The curved goose neck appears complete to me. And you say the bell is complete as well? Jerry

Post a picture of YOUR "actual" horn, so we can see exactly what you are looking for...

Apologies for the confusion. The first picture is of a complete elbow. This picture is of the horn I need to repair.

I wasn't confused. It was obvious to me what you meant.

Re: Cygnet horn connector
Chunny,
The part you need has obviously been reproduced since they appear on repro cygnet horns. I suggest you contact either Dwayne Wyatt or Ron Sitko to see if they could have their fabricator supply just the connector sans elbow. It's just a suggestion, but you never know until you ask. I do recall a collector friend who needed a repro horn for an Edison school phonograph. I believe Ron was able to provide him with an 11 panel Triumph horn without the crane swivel since the school machine horn support is like the Opera.
Here's a link to Wyatt's repro cygnet. Scroll to bottom of page to see elbow.
