I do however wonder about Nicks new acquisition...
My eyes could be deceiving me, but it appears that it has just one commutator, and that looks like a split ring type, which would make this a pure DC generator.
Perhaps that would make this one even rarer than the "ordinary" dual output Jensen 15D?[/size]

Thank you for that explanation Jan. Yes the ring is split and one side of the windings go to one half and the other side the other half with a brush on each side. I have disassembled this and began carefully cleaning, but unfortunately it was stored in a very poor environment and some of the clear coat is missing from the windings... will it still work?
