Magneto rewinds
Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:49:02 -0000
In another place I see a S****torm of argument between someone who has
rewound many magnetos and someone who hasn't. I know where my money is :-)
BTW the firm in Stroud do (or did a year ago) a rewind for ¡ê50 +vat.

Can anyone hazard a guess as to what a Crossley 1075, driving a dynamo, a

b) Prime, undercoat and top coat individual parts and then reassemble.
