Does the triumph take a different crane for a cygnet horn than the Standards, Firesides, etc? I know it is supposed to have an 11 panel horn, but I have an extra 10 panel and I will be ok with that, but I need to get a crane and attaching hardware for the horn. The mounting bracket is already on the rear of the case. Is there a good dealer that might have the crane and spring and attaching hardware that I need? Thanks in advance for any help you may give.

There are different sized cranes for each particular model depending on which reproducer and carriage is on that model. When you mix a smaller #10 Cygnet on a large Triumph plus not knowing the Triumph's carriage, it's a very difficult question to answer. I suspect that's why replies are slow.

What great information it would be if someone would lay the different types on top of each other and post photos and measurements to illustrate the differences? I have never seen anyone do this, not even those that sell reproductions! This is recurring mystery, asked over and over.

Other questions always asked is about the spring and/or hanger rod and the difference if it's a 10 or 11 panel horn.

Sounds like the making of an excellent educational article!

Sorry for the lack of info. Here is a picture, not sure if this would give a person what is needed to figure out what crane I need with my 10 pannel. If this picture doesn't show what I have , what other info would be helpful to you guys who know so I can provide that.
