Thank you Bruce, I couldn't have gotten this far without your care package.  Mike's package and Jenson's will be icing on the cake!

It really runs like a champ, fast little bugger.

Though try as I might I can't figure out why I am not producing power from the generator - I think it is dead.

1. supplying external power at the brushes makes the light turn on.  So wiring at brushes and up to lamp are good.
2. get good continuity from shaft to bottom / screws of brushes.
3. the outside and inside generator wires are connected.  I did lift up the outside wire a bit, to insure it wasn't touching the opposing polarity.
4. Looked all around the windings with my large work desk magnifying glass - not seeing anything wrong / nicked / mangled.

Really bummed about the power generator/light.
