Hi Danko,
I haven't had a TD horn apart but I am familiar with the concept of operation.
Before you do anything else check for continuity through the horn. If you
get a closed circuit you will know the coil and contacts are okay and all
you need to do is adjust the contact gap. An open circuit could indicate a
number of things. Contact repair is possible but an iffy proposition at best
and rewind/repairing the coil is best done by a pro and would be more
expensive than replacing the horn. Which brings me to my last point. I
have a TD/TF/MGA high note horn that I don't need. Contact me before you
buy a replacement. I'd be willing to pull it open and have a look for you if
you've got some specific questions
Cheers
