Can anyone offer advice on sealing the horn of the Columbia Viva-tonal 800 or
taking other steps to improve its performance? The design of this horn
appears to have been created by first building a straight approximately
exponential horn & then chopping its bell into two halves & mounting them one
above the other. The material sealing the horn joints is peeling away & there
must be many air leaks since the sound quality is nowhere near what one would
expect from a horn of this size, not coming even close to that of the Credenza
Orthophonic Victrola. Any ideas for restoring optimum performance from this
instrument will be much appreciated. Thanks!
