My heart sunk when I measured the transformers, as the both appeared to have both windings open, 225-450 megohms.  However, they're not. The leads for each winding do not come out on same side.  So they both have a 4.2K and a 1.15K winding, phew!

Also, you'll notice a crack on the left side next to the "Horn" label.  Fortunately the crack does doesn't carry through to the front.  Just have to be very careful not to flex the panel.
