The Bugeye one with the Tac drive.

Has a bad armature, the usual sources do not have them.

Anyone have an idea?

No connection, I found him while poking around craigslist a couple days ago. I asked about one of the Tach's to replace mine and got the impression that a) most of his stuff is bugeye era b) he's got more than he bothered to list c) doesn't know a whole heck of alot about the stuff.

It's atleast worth a shot.

I had mine rebuilt by a local generator/alternator/starter company. They were able to get the parts needed from somewhere. Works fine now. Might find a local rebuilder who could help you.
 
That guy on Craigs list seems cheap.

Moss price for the whole Generator isn't that bad, but then again it is a repro. I remember when the tach drives were made of a golden like substance.

I will check around here, I vaguely recall seeing one, but me thinks it not tach drive.
 
Sent the guy an email.

Appreciate.
 
Jack,

How's the heat down there? We have been up over 100 here the past few days.

They said that it was well over a hundred today with the humidty. I just went out to take a picture under the bonnet & came back in soaked.

We are so close, just getting out to work now.

Hot and humid.
 
Generators gone. Will continue to look for an armature or the whole thing.

Someone someplace must repair these?
