Regulator problems f/TC

Post by rmeismer1@aol.com » Wed Jul 03, 2002 12:07 pm

Does anyone know if it is nessary to polarizes the generator on a TC if so how? Also does anyone have a working regulator for the TC that they would be interested in selling. The TC has a RF91 but a RF95/2 would also work I understand. Does anyone know of anyone that can repair them .

Rolland, You can get your regulator brought back into top condition at British Auto Electric. The phone number is (714) 630-1074. Good service and quality work. My best, Ben Cordsen

I will second the message below. Jerry Felper does great work at a reasonable price. He does answer email too: felperg@earthlink.net What he will probably do, and what you could easliy do to, is to take the guts out of a newer Lucas regulator and put them into the old 9 post case. I was able to find a new 5 post at a swap meet with a broken case for $10 or so and did the switch. David Edgar, TC 5108 El Cajon, California At 3:26 PM -0400 7/3/02, sculptart@aol.com wrote:

Any DC generator may need polarizing (or may not; just do it on spec.) Don TC 7993

Easier than that. With everything connected, just close cutout relay (with finger). Job done. Don TC 7993

This method is a little hard on the cutout contact points as it puts a dead short on the battery and the resistance of the dynamo armature creates very little voltage drop to force current through the field coils.......I prefer my method. Terry
