Re: What is this?
Looks like old Radio Shack parts. Would help to see lettering on components, Also what is the brown tube connected to. --
Fun Projects Mag Charger (just a diode & bulb)
The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

Re: What is this?
That is a fuse holder that is part of the turn signals.
I wonder if that circuit board is this?

Re: What is this?
Try this .Has to be a mag battery charger.
Yellow wire is 12v in
Green is 12v out
Red has no voltage. Must hook to mag.
It is like the Bitter.

Re: What is this?
Dan I believe that’s a Seth Harbuck mag charger. Seth made one very similar to the one pictured. You may recall he was an early proponent (2005) of the ability for the mag to charge the battery. He sent out several to friends including me for a 1915 roadster.

Re: What is this?
The part with the heat sink looks like a voltage regulator. Everything else looks like resistors and one transistor. You may be right, could be a homemade mag charger. These components would be all you would need.

Re: What is this?
I know what the parts are. I want to know if it is battery charger, which I know it is. And who made it , how it hooks up.
I pulled a big screw up and unhooked it pulling the engine to fix cracked drums. Oh I will remember how that goes, yeah right.
Well with all else going on guess what? I think I have got it right so we shall see.
