Although  neither horn is hooked up to my TR3, they don't really make a 
'blare'
at  all when I hold their two wires to the positive and negative posts of  my
12v family car battery.  If i reverse the wires/posts (reverse the  polarity)
they still don't blow.

I am trying them  individually.  Also, I think when the connection is being
made, they  do, however, make the hiss echo that a phonograph record needle
makes  (before or after the song- but not as loud).  What am I  forgetting?





Paul,
What I have had to do is this:
 
1. Remove cover of  horn,
 
2. Use some fine emery cloth to clean the contacts.
 
3. Loosen screws which adjust the points while applying power until you  
habvethe best horn sound. Tighten locking nut on adjusting screw.
 
Good Luck!
