FS - Refurbished early generator cutout

Post by ndnchf » Tue May 23, 2023 4:53 pm

I posted about this cutout in the general discussion forum here:

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=36587&sid=11eef871c ... b94fd0eb28

It may not be a factory cutout, but it was mentioned in that discussion as looking very similar to the cutout shown in Bruce McCalley's book on a 1919 car. So you decide. Regardless, it is an early, period correct cutout. I have serviced it to include the following:

-Cover removed and internals cleaned with electrical contact cleaner.
-Air gap checked
-Points dressed and gap adjusted
-point closure voltage adjusted using a variable power supply and voltmeter.
-Repainted.
-New terminal post insulator made. Original brass hardware cleaned and polished.
-Retested after final assembly.

Price is $60 plus shipping from Fredericksburg, Virginia

For more information on how I refurbish cutouts, check out my youtube video. The video is oriented towards model A cutouts, but they all work the same way.
