I believe that I have the same horns, one of which I rebuilt (CT13678). I gr=
ound off the rivets and pulled it apart. What I found was a lot of pot metal=
 and dissimilar metals corrosion. So, clean that all up don't damage the ele=
ctrics. I could not find any rivets of the same size, so I tapped the holes i=
n the top piece and put in allen head screws from the underside. Fresh coat o=
f black paint and no one has ever noticed. There may be a gasket between the=
 halves which you might need to make. It may work or try to work at this poi=
nt. There are two adjustment screws (big one in center and a small one adjac=
ent) to fiddle with I hope you will have a horn. Mine are still working many=
 years later.
