Can anyone tell me if all D-32's were sold with a dynamo? I have one from the early 60's, i believe, with the mounting bolts and acorn nuts but no generator. Can I assume the brown Bakelite dynamo was originally on it? Thanks much.

I think , (but am not positive) they all came with the generator as this was their flagship model. Someone will know for sure. Do you have the large drive pulley that would drive the generator just to the left of the flywheel on the left engine ?

Yes, it has the large drive pulley. And with it came a small pulley which lookes like it would press-fit onto a generator. There are also mounting studs and acorn nuts on the base for mounting a generator. Just wondered if it was sold with one.

"Just wondered if it was sold with one."
Probably... The old bakelite ones have a bit of value & in my opinion kinda hard to turn over. Someone probably removed it for whatever reason.
