On that “input / output” thingy, would there be some kind
of cord with a jack that plugs into the hole?

Tom,

I’ve seen a pic of the light that plugs in. It is like a flashlight with a cord on it with a male plug on the end. I assume a similar wired plug would attach to a dry cell for the battery side.

Tom Manley has one. Maybe he will post a pic on here.

I started refurbishing the magneto today. I forgot to take pics. I will add some tomorrow when I resume.

Nice job on the retro. Looks factory. Did you use the single or two lead coil? 

I had a 2 lead coil in my pile already. They are cheaper than the single last time I bought any.

David…..Can you post pics and text showing how you went about removing the Bendix laminates?  Thanks!  Great project there!

Chuck,

I didn’t take any pictures of this process. Basically what I did is cut the laminates off close to the coil with a hack saw. Then drill down through the laminate as far as you dare. I used my trusty Walker-Turner drill press. Then get a long punch that fits the hole and drive the center laminates out. Sometimes they come easy, sometimes not! Then just work at the remaining laminates to get them out.
