MAGNETO HORN

Post by sheppfour » Thu Feb 28, 2019 10:38 pm

I bought a magneto horn about 40 years ago and it had a transformer with it. I have always used it with the transformer inline, has anyone seen this before ?

It might be a choke like was used with the lights so at low power or high power from the magneto would give about the same noise or in the case of lights would restrict the output so the bulbs didn't burn out.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:
