I have a 1934 Sea King with a bad coil. I am curious if anyone knows of a modern replacement and if there were any instructions or videos on making the modern one work. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Phil Curry

A "Boathouse Repair" is one that done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.

Tubs, have you had any experience removing the laminates from these scintilla coils?

I had purchased one of the black coils to try my hand at using it to replace a speedster coil. I think I’ll give the OMC coils a go. Thanks for the pics Tubs.

Tubs,

I just wanted to verify before I did it. If I am goiing to be using the OMC coils I want to remove the insulating cylinder from the laminates?

I’m guessing that the primary windings are what’s under the insulating sleeve.
The OMC coils aren’t going to fit over it anyway, and the laminates will
have to be sized to fit them. I have no experience with a coil conversion
on this model, so I’ll let someone else tell you how to best proceed.

Prepare to be boarded!

Stanley, are you referring to the scintilla coil? I seem to remember reading that after removing the rivets, you push out the laminates starting on the inner ones and working your way out. Maybe??? Is that how you did it?
