The Models 235 is loaded with Buescher's bottom-sprung "pin" valves. The valve has a lug (the "pin") milled into its side at its top. The lug fits into a groove cut into the side of the valve casing.
Note the lacquer. Buescher offered two standard lacquer options; Clear and Gold. This is the Gold lacquer. It is opaque and, as you can see, a bright gold color.
The Clear lacquer was transparent but did have a dark honey-yellow tint.
Heather's bar/stem was custom made using a combination of fillets and TIG welds to get a really specific look. A 38CM 25.4 Nitto B-123 handlebar completes the tight and right track look on Heather's Rockcity and we added a hand-cut 'H' to the back of the stem as a cherry on top for our favorite gal.
1934 Ford Truck built ground up by Ed Riley of Crosby,Tx. This truck has 350 hp Chevy LS1 Motor and weighs 2500. The truck was built to drive on the street, go to the Car Shows, and just have fun.
Note the braces between the leadpipe and bell-tail assemblies.
This horn is substantially heavier than Buescher's Model 228 "Lightweight 400" trumpet, a post-War model that was an exact contemporary of this 215.
Note the main tuning slide's configuration, slung down to enter the third valve to the left of the third valve slide; note also the taper in the bell-tail and where it begins to flare out to the bell - compare this to, say, the Model 234 Aristocrat or the 335 Custom Built horns.
