Today I also acquired a 1931 OMC(ELTO branded) Fold-light.  Everything is perfect except it has no spark.  Does a military coil swap work on these?  I still need to dig into it but it will be a while and I might as well order parts while i’m waiting.

These things rarely produce a spark unless you work on them first. DO the basic operations and prove that the coil is no good.

By that you mean to clean up the points, check resistance/continuity, etc…?
