Good Morning All. I know I was on the other side of the World for a while......But I think today is Tuesday ????
How's the NOS or NORS diode supply?
There out there. Date codes are big on them
Tommy at Parts Hound does 100 point ones way out of the price range for most of us.
@Mattax would be great but does not have the room for it.
We used to sell Hastings Alternators and Starters and their other rebuilt products back in the day. Was a great Company out of North Carolina. To mitigate the flow of defect returns, they supplied you with an Alternator tester. This obviously helped with defect returns and also verified the customers original unit as deficient. Then there were the "clock" positions of the GM Alternators. We carried all of the different ones, but in a pinch, I could disassemble the unit and " turn " it to the desired clock position. Learned to disassemble other makes as well and change out built in regulators and rectifier bridges, brushes. But nothing we could really do with the armatures. Need a lathe for that...and other testing equipment....
My Matt has the growler and most of the other stuff, but he only does pre 50's generators. I could use one now for that guy burningh up coils,. Did a few more phone hours, sent him a test set and books to borrow, found nothing. Then on a whim asked him what the voltage running was. 13.1. OK Any chance your meter leads are long to see it driving? No but I have a volt meter in the car. Takes it for a ride under load. Yup 16.3 volts!
Wow ordered two tables on line Friday here on Sat! Now that was fast!

Looks like it will be pretty light also...
They say 300LB. I will use them prob for meters. Almost the same price as rentals.

wow.. i didn't expect them to take that much weight
I hope they don't weigh 300 lbs : ) Not a bad load rating because they do look light which is a good thing
That is all my neighbor does is rebuilt Alternators, starters, and generators.
It is a family business and they do all machine work on engine rebuilding.

My buddy leaves today, I can then resume a productive life. We got tangled up with this and some fish tacos last night. Catfish our boy caught. Great pairing.

I would darn sure have the 300 pounds very evenly spaced!
Good luck....don't let that pressed cardboard get damp.
We has Champion Rebuild. They were a good quality rebuild back in the 70's and 80's.
