Description: BOSCH HORNS & BRACKETS HO/FSA 12/9 & 12/10 MERCEDES 113 230SL 250SL 280SL WRKING.This is a pair of Bosch horns used in Mercedes cars from the early 1960's through the late 1960's which had dual horns. In particular, this applies to most 230SLs (earliest may have used 12/3 & 12/4), all 250SLs, and early 280SLs (1968-89), as well as most 220SEs including coupes and convertibles (again with possible exception of the earliest, most of which were sedans), all 250SE coupes and convertibles and most sedans, and early 280SE coupes and convertibles. The 12/9 is a low tone 290Hz, and the 12/10 is a medium tone 345Hz. This pair is very original-the grilles are covered with factory undercoating which is still in excellent shape, so it's likely that the paint underneath is also excellent if you wanted to remove the coating (lacquer thinner will do this without removing the underlying paint, which is baked on), but I've left it on because as I mentioned this is how they looked when installed in the cars (one of my 300SE convertibles has all 3 original 5" horns with this exact same undercoating, again applied only to the faces of the horns). I should note that both tags were also covered with undercoating, which I removed to show the horn types (again, note that lacquer thinner didn't harm the paint on the tags at all, which is what you would expect for paint that's been protected and is still in very good shape). This pair also includes the brackets. I didn't remove the grilles to inspect the insides as I didn't want to disturb the undercoating, but these horns came from a southwestern car that had been sitting in a garage unused for 30 years, and based on the condition of the other components I expect the insides are also in excellent condition.And when I tested them, they worked like champs without any tweaking at all-see video below, and note that my phone's microphone doesn't do them justice, they are both VERY LOUD. It does, however, provide accurate pitch and tone so that you can hear that they are indeed working and working well: BH1 12/9 290Hz test Video will open in a new window [isdntekvideo]
