Project for today: This is the horn of the #CylinderPlater I'm working on. This is an internal horn machine; the horn attaches to the back of the reproducer (the thingie with the stylus and a diaphragm to make sound) and curves around and hangs from a spring inside the machine, behind a grille. (External horns tend to be brass and shiny, but internal ones are hidden and just painted black).
This one has the rear extension ("tailpipe") of the reproducer broken off inside.
Fixing the reproducer is a project for later. For now, I just need to get that broken-off bit of metal tubing out. And it's pretty stuck.
