Dynamo Overhaul?

[Old Merc]

Can any of you chaps recommend a company that overhauls classic dynamo`s?? and if they are near Berkshire even better.The sort I have in mind would be small,old school,two man business that loves classic cars and would turn my discharging 1964 dynamo into a new unit.

You could probably have a bash at it yourself.

Use a multi meter to check continuity of the windings, replace the brushes, clean all the crap our of the gaps in the brush contact and check for wear in the bushes.

I can put you onto a chap near Chichester if that's any good, works on his own in an old dairy.

Fit either an alternator or one of those alternators that look like a dynamo. Dynamos are the motoring equilavent of a black and white telly...

Ho Ho, very funny!

Do I have to explain?

OK, who has a black and white telly in their living room. Working. Connected to Sky?
You may be able to watch some programmes on such a TV, but not much fun. A flat battery on your car with dim headlights etc ain't much fun.
Fit an alternator, have brighter lights to see your way clear when leaving the Flat Earth Society meeting....
