This is an hour or so away from me.

This one is short action so your repair shop would have to transplant the whole valve section but shouldn’t be too difficult.

I could pick it up for you and ship it for the cost of shipping (ie I wouldn’t ‘charge’ you anything).

But then again why go to the trouble, it would make more sense to just play this one using your bell.

This horn is a 20J.
Not a 30J.
It doesn't look like anyone made that statement clearly although it was alluded to.

Thanks for the clarification, I definitely muddied the waters on that one. :facepalm2:
