My dock mate was going through his father in laws stuff post mortem and found a pair of supposedly D2 Kahlenberg horns hanging on the wall in apparently "Never mounted" condition. The shop was dark and un able to identify if they were chrome plated or brass. The guy worked at Jagemann chrome plating in MTW for 30 years tho... The horns come with 12VDC compressor and solenoid valve. The package is the horns and compressor at a pretty "gosh darn good price". I only need/want the compressor and will liquidate the horns: speak up here or Ill buy the package deal and ebay 'em after positive ID of course. Let me know if youre interested in the next few days! ws   |

Willy I have a pair of 2.5 inch groco strainers. No baskets in them. Trade comes to mind.

Hey pal... as mentioned before, I may be interested in some sort of purchase on the strainers, but I'd need to liquidate the horns to offset the cost of securing the compressor part. Lets see what the package looks like... BTW, the pair of D2s is about 30+ lbs... ws

Scott... yer first up, but its gonna be a sale; those 2500 Groco strainers are just too big for me. I had them on the sub and the Roamer takes a 1-1/2" (1500 series). I personally need to inspect the horns and will take many pics as always. The dock mate has a 28 foot Marinette and he fishes it, so K-berg horns are K-berg horns. I want to see exactly what model and vintage etc. I might just be the next American Nose Picker. ws

So now we can all sit around and have a good cry, then a good laugh...I was under the impression these were from the guys father in law or such. Turns out a guy he works with and he only saw a thumbnail pic on a dumb phone. Hahahaha. The horns look like a about a 1960 vintage Grove fire truck horn. It was chrome plated new and then PAINTED with gray and then red primer. The bells look OK but seem tweeked a bit. The compressor is available all day on edog for <$50 with a solenoid valve and a 1 gallon tank, and the $50 horns would need $500 in chrome and still only be worth MAYBE $200 for all. Gotta love them thumbnails. I walked on them but if anyone is interested at all, Im sure the owner is open to offers, PLUS SHPPING of course. ws   |
