Hi Ben,
This is a puzzle, I suppose it is possible that I have what is left of two sets.
The motor is 3-1/3 brick high, and the battery box opens from the top. The motor
and the battery box work great and are in great shap as are most of the pieces I
have located for this set. I had a close look at the 116 horn and envelope and the
look like what I have, from left to right the horn has a small line, then a larger
line on about a 60 degree angle, then a longer yet thicker line perpendicular. In
the centre is a unattached circle with 3 verticle line on the centre bottom, lastly
is the horn portion of the print. I don't know if that helps.
