arcade sounding musical horn

[missioncontrol]

The General Lee had a Dixie musical horn...... Now wouldn't it be cool to find a musical horn for your car that played the intro to pac-man, Mrs. Pac-man, or some other of our arcade favorites...........


now I need some ideas on how I can accomplish this.....


and the cheaper the better... but still needs to be loud and distinct

[Kremmit]

Dirt cheap:

Use one of those cheeezy greeting cards that lets you record a "special message".  Rip the guts, wire the headphone out on your computer to the mic in on the card guts, and record the Pac-Man intro.

Even cheaper:  Steal one of your kids' toys that records speech and use that.

Hook the speaker output from whatever you use to whatever horn/amplification you can find- real musical horn, megaphone, boombox-duct-taped-to-the-grill-of-the-Roadmaster, whatever you can find.

what on earth is the point then? bit of an oversight...

Wow, this has given many silly thoughts. But use the sound when mappy dies. 

But really cool would be the death sound for bezerk death.

Perhaps over the top on how to do it, but find an old laptop and load it with samples. Then you have a whole load of things to fire off based on your mood. You could find a 133 mhz laptop for cheap. It would not be as easy as a car horn just press and beep, but my hunch is that you would not actually use the donkey barrel jump as your car horn every time.

I'd have to loop the spy hunter theme song to listen to as I drive around

My friend had something similar to the Wolo back in the 80's except that I seem to remember it saving at least one sequence.  We used to spend hours playing around with it.  When it wasn't playing "Iron Man" it was usually playing the Pac Man intro.

Hey mission cornhoolio, just go and get a copy of the peter gunn theme and put it n your 8track and crank it up. I personally do not like spinners on cars, but, I think that this would be the occasion to have them. Driven real slow with spinners goin with peter gun thumpin in the background. Mount some machine guns to the front and your good to go.

I'll do that right after I finish making the spoiler... I'm using ply-wood and 2x4's
