Re: Hornblasters announcing they have acquired Leslie horns

I’d definitely love to test out samples if you ever get them made!

EMD 1956 Horn Catalog (Leslie tag numbers!)

This document shows different horn offerings from EMD in 1956. It also shows the valve and piping arrangement on the F units and cab units at the time. Note that the part number shown for the horn is the number that is shown on newer Leslie tags. Leslie tags don't have serial numbers, it is the EMD ...

Re: leslie rs o ring silicone disc

As big as you can. I recommend at least 10 gallons. Volume is far more important than pressure, everything between the tank and the horn must be a 1/2”. The tank port, fittings, hoses, valves, everything needs to be 1/2”.

Re: leslie rs o ring silicone disc

You can’t get just the silicone rings. New diaphragms with the disk and ring are available from Leslie…. For $500 a piece! You are much better off repairing the ones you have. The red high temp silicone RTV and wax paper are all you need. I made a video on how to do this: https://youtu.be/KmGhFa_YrB0

On the Leslie’s the bell arrangement in the manifold and type of manifold won’t affect how the horn sounds, and ...

Re: Leslie S-3B Standard Arrangement

Generally speaking the standard arrangement for Leslie was largest bell on the left, shortest bell in the middle and middle bell on the right when looking at the horn from the front. Bell arrangement won’t affect the sound though. S3E &S5A were catalogued but never produced by Leslie in the three di...
