Lucky Find!

[Shadow]

Sometimes we get Lucky!
              I collect old Windchargers, generators, 6, 12 &32 volt stuff from years gone by. A guy called me this winter and asked if I was interested in some 32 volt motors, lightbulbs and old generator. I took his number and gave him a call last Sat to go have a look. I got real excited when he opened the shed door and there sat a 3 1/2 hp Lister /generator! Its rare to find one that complete, lots of times the generator was removed and engine used for a water pump or saw etc.
         He even had the magneto rebuilt so he could get it running. Its has a rheostat to vary the volts from 32-46, and the brass arm is missing off that,otherwise it is fairly complete.
              I'm not sure of the year, but I'm guessing early '30's? Serial #53929
