Any decent auto-parts store should have a wide range of replacement horns,
including air horns - Schucks, Pep Boys, NAPA, Lordco, Canadian Tire... whatever
is "native" to your area. Or go to a wrecker and pull a set of horns out of an
old '64 Dodge or something. They're a pretty simple device - ground one side,
apply power to the other side, and clean out the earwax. Just about any horn
from any car should work (at worst you may need to add a relay), so find
something that you like the sound of, and plop it in there. I got a little $30
set of air horns from a liquidation store for my '87 Accord and they're GREAT!
