fireside horn, what do you think?
At some point in the future i want to get a original horn for my fireside, what do you think i should do, drill the cabinet for a bracket and attach a cygnet horn or just use a red fireside horn?

Hi Alex,
I would not drill your Fireside cabinet. Just keep it original. If you can't find an original red horn they do make a nice repro. At 14 years of age you have a life time of collecting ahead of you . An original cygnet Fireside model B will eventually come your way. By the way how many machines do you have now? If you have say six machines now and buy only two more a year,by the time you are 50 years old you will have a collection of nearly 80 machines. Something to look forward to eh!!!
