Anyone recognize this horn?

Bought this horn on ebay. Can't get it to work. Cleaned out dead bug, dead mouse. It vibrates but doesn't beep. Looking for gap in the contact points.

Good chance it's a 6 volt unit. Try 6 volts and see what happens.

Yeah Fasttoy it's 6V but I tried it on 12V and 6V. Something definitely wrong with it.
Thanks.

Well, about the only option you have is to cut the rivet heads off, take the dome cover off and see whats going on. I've done a couple of these and it should be a brass diaphragm and a coil with a bi-metal set of contacts. Normally there is also an adjustment set screw for tone adjustment.
