That spring thing is some kind of custom pivot system and its screwed to the horn with bolts.
When I remove it there will be a couple holes of course in the bottom of the horn.
Whoever set this thing up went though some trouble to do so. I have to admit for a frankie project
its fairly well done. I don't have a pic handy of the motor but this is the same type of motor
that's inside.

Definately some useful parts all in all. Its just a matter of time before I need the motor, knob, speed
indicator, etc.

It looks kind of like the ones on the "scheme machines" (Harmony, Aretino, etc.). I'm not 100% certain, but it does bear strong resemblance.

Thanks AZ! Its too bad its not a Victor but it should be useful someday.
