Reply:Awesome restore structuralwelder!  Obviously a first class job. Just one question.  Are you sure on the "all copper" as that's an aluminum shunt housing?Looking forward to seeing the side covers.MM200 w/Spoolmatic 1Syncrowave 180SDBobcat 225G Plus - LP/NGMUTT Suitcase WirefeederWC-1S/Spoolmatic 1HF-251D-1PakMaster 100XL '68 Red Face Code #6633 projectStar Jet 21-110Save Second Base!
Reply:I'm pretty sure the hexagon housings had aluminum windings. How do you know it's copper wound?Good looking machine you should be proud!! I recently restored a '56 shorthood i'll have to get some pics posted.Lets see the side covers!!
Reply:From 1973 - 1979 the lead connections are as shown in the picture.  The generator was originally wound with aluminum shunts and if it is now "all copper" then it has been re-wound.Gordie -- "I believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant."
