Re: Jensen Cast Iron Genny Question

One of my Jensen cast iron genny's barely lights the correct Jensen globe.
With the lights dimmed in the room and a 20G going flat chat driving the genny I can see a feint glow of the filament.

Any hints?

I’ve had luck cleaning the two leaf springs that touch the shaft as well as the shaft contact as well, using alcohol.

Probably already done that?
