Hello,
I bought eight BH-749 control horns directly from Brodak.
The quality of connections between 1/8" wire and the horn "plates" is rather poor, these "connections" are porous and sort of "blobby".
There are blobs here and there with too much or too little connecting material and, in general, the connections do not look solid and strong enough.
The horn plates are slightly bent, the bushings a bit crooked....Messy job.
What process is used to connect the 1/8" wire with the horn plates?
Is this brazing with silver solder?
I contacted Brodak and I am waiting for their response.
When such brazing is done correctly using a very simple fixture, the connection is smooth and has a regular, donut like, shape, with connecting material filling only the space around 1/8" wire. I have such horns bought many years ago with the Intrepid XL kit and the quality is much better.
I will be grateful for comments,
Thank you,
Matt
