If the windings are still good, (hums is good), clean the contact points with fine wet or dry sandpaper, re-assemble, and turn the adjustment screw to get the tone. Test it on your pair of batteries. After that, buy a good one that works. They are cheaper to buy another than send it to a re-builder. I bought a 24 volt new sparton horn that had the same guts, but was different on the outside, , took the guts out and installed in my M 38 A1's body, and it worked. The cost was around 30 bucks. Save it if you can. John
