Alternator Full fielding..??

You have to be careful. Here is an oddball roundback. This one has a GROUNDED brush installed at 9 o'clock, an isolated brush at 12 o'clock, and a blank for an isolated brush at 3 o'clock. I assume this is an aftermarket piece. The danger is if you were to have all three installed, and they try to use it "isolated." (70/ later)

This is the "pinnacle" of a junk rebuilder who modified a grounded brush roundback to take a second isolated brush. This one also has a grounded brush installed. All they have done here, is drilled a hole in an older case The normal isolated brush is at 3 o'clock, the installed grounded brush is at 6 o'clock, and the unused drilled hole/ modified isolated brush position is at 12 o'clock

This is a 70/ later isolated field unit before squarebacks came out

A quick update..Checked both fields to alt case..ok not going to ground. Green wire disconnected no charge. Seems to be some voltage drop at blue wire at regulator. Any real formula to determine how much a 1/2 or full volt would “up” the charge rate..?? Thanks Swingn’
