Dave, t he whole stator tube assembly is turning. The horn assembly is
engaging the notches in the tube. The horn assembly is new - bought from one
of the big three at a VTR auction and seemed "tight when turning it" before
the assembly into the stator. I've stripped a couple of brass nuts trying to
tighten it. It's frustrating. I do have the other car to compare and it's
fine....

Is the stator tube actually turning or is the horn assembly not engaging
the notches in the stator tube? B The stator tube nut may be plenty tight and
your problem lies elsewhere.
