You will probably have to replace the armature now; you have more than likely magnetized it. Generators are ruined very easy by spinning them with current - they are not designed for this. You are only supposed to "flash" current to them to polarize them. I have seen many people do what you did; & it results in complete rebuild of the generator afterwards. Sorry.

Recently acquired nice 25 Stude Standard Six Duplex Touring from Volo Auto Museum. One headlight not working; current to it; bulb must be burned out. There is a hole at the bottom of both headlight rims; but no screw with which to remove the ring & lense to access bulb. One person thought maybe turn rim 10 degrees & it would pop off. I am able to rotate it 360 degrees; but can not find any spot in which it becomes looser. Rim appears to be "popped" over a lip on the headlight drum. Does anyone have any experience with this unit?

I just bought one too; trying to figure out how to remove headlight rings so can replace bulb. Any suggestions? dcas@srt.com thanks, Dan Caswell

I do not have the rings to sell; but have just purchased 1925 Standard Six Duplex Touring; which needs headlight bulb replaced. The headlight rings appear to possibly just snap over a ridge on the headlight drum; but that doesn't really seem right - would be hard to remove without damaging paint. Being you have these apart; can you shed some light on how to remove these rings & change the bulb? I see this post pretty old; hope you are still on site!! Thanks, Dan Caswell, Minot, ND
