As Rus mentions, the horns are pretty simple. This one is from a '51 CJ-3a.

If the coil has continuity then probably all that's needed is a good cleaning.

There are contact points inside that if corroded will keep the horn from working, and also an adjustment screw on the back of the case.

Here are a couple of pictures of mine.

Jeff,
Does it make noise?  If it makes noise, the rebuild will be mostly a clean up. 

There are writeups from owners rebuilding their own, plus some internet sites that walk through a rebuild of an old horn.  I just recently rebuilt one I bought at a Reunion I attended.  No manual, just a slow methodical disassembly.

They aren't terribly complicated.  My biggest hurdle was cleaning it up but once that was done the reassembly process was not bad.  I was fortunate to take a lot of pictures during disassembly to aid my lack of memory.

I notice from your profile, your next door in the Peach State.  Can you post an image of what you have?
