Well, I THOUGHT I answered this last knight. Missed the send button. I guess.

 

  This engine should have Inserts. 1948, I believe was first with same.  What are your plans, Greg?

I have found that generators and starters can be brought back to life quite easily if you dismantle, clean any corrosion off the copper contacts with a light abrasive sponge, and add new brushes. Very rarely in my digging have I found a bad armature because they were dipped in some type of plastic shrink rap that does an excellent job of protecting the windings. Field coils, too.

Yep. Even when the windings look awful there is usually nothing wrong.
