Hello David and Happy Birthday to TC3896!  I've heard lots of stories about sparks flying in TC's but not quite as real as yours Rick,  in rain snow and ice for Halloween this year Michigan

I had the same thing happen with a key fob shorted on the two pin plug. Answer? Remove two pin plug. I haven t any electrics to fry so no damage done.

Raise your glasses to toast TC 3896 on her 70th birthday! She rolled off the Abingdon assembly line to the light of day on October 27th, 1947!

At age 70, she looks as good as she did 70 years ago leaving the factory, can run for many miles and many hours without missing a beat, can keep up with the traffic, 

and can still quicken the heart rates and turn the heads of many a young man!

So here s to TC 3896 on her 70th - and wishing her many more happy years and miles! May she drive "till the roads wear out"!!

Exact same thing happened to me Norm!    I bought two new ones because of the burn marks and now they are just there filling the holes and the wiring removed.  Out of sight and under the dash, I have a 12volt Neg. earth cig. lighter type socket, encased in heat shrink and fixed to the side of the toolbox with an insulated 'P' clip.  Wired direct from the battery with an in-line fuse and isolating connecter, it comes in handy for a Sat. Nav. or charging a mobile.  TweedTC 0632Cambridge UK            [b]From:[/b] "'Norman Verona' norman@frenchblat.com [mg-tabc]" mg-tabc-noreply@yahoogroups.com> [b]To:[/b] 'Rick' rbfisk@comcast.net>; 'David' davidtasa48@gmail.com>; 'mg-tabc' mg-tabc@yahoogroups.com> [b]Sent:[/b] Tuesday, 31 October 2017, 5:16 Subject: RE: [mg-tabc] Re: Pinned Ammeter   I had the same thing happen with a key fob shorted on the two pin plug.

As you guys diagnosed, new solid state regulator from Doug Pelton (From the Frame Up) straightened everything out. Battery returned to Summit Racing which was delivered in two days. Both very good companies with terrific service. Thanks all. TC 6424

Duncan and all,

 

Howard s failed unit was an original RF95/2 and not a solid state unit. I don t know what the history of the unit is. However, I can tell that is had be refurbished by the adjustment screws which had a new coat of red paint on them which is normally done to see if anyone has tampered with the adjustment.

 

I am a very strong advocate of the new solid state regulators that now have. These are original cores that have had their internals replaced with smart protective circuitry. I recommend using nothing else.

Are you able to use the same solid state regulator of a MG TC as for a MG J2 1933 ? Peter Mond

TC is positive ground, the J2 is negative ground, unless the polarity of either one is changed. Diode units are made either way. But you have to order the correct polarity. I am sure Doug can supply you with one or get either one. Interesting to note that I have an MG friend who is an electrical engineer. He built a diode cut out for my J2 without a regulator but fused it at 8 amps. The original 3rd brush was retained to regulate output. It seems to work fine and is safer than the original cut out which can freeze. I will ,when I get around to it, install a unit like Doug sells to replace the 3rd brush.

Are you able to use the same solid state regulator of a MG TC as for a MG J2 1933 ?

Duncan and all,

 

Howard s failed unit was an original RF95/2 and not a solid state unit.   I don t know what the history of the unit is.  However, I can tell that is had be refurbished by the adjustment screws which had a new coat of red paint on them which is normally done to see if anyone has tampered with the adjustment.

 

I am a very strong advocate of the new solid state regulators that now have.  These are original cores that have had their internals replaced with smart protective circuitry.  I recommend using nothing else.

So Doug replaced the failed unit he sold you with a new one, or the failed unit was from another source? Any info on the failed unit would be of interest.

Hi MikeYes you are right polarity is of an essence. Need to make sure. Will ask Doug if he carries either one.ThanksPeter Peter Mond

TC is positive ground, the J2 is negative ground, unless the polarity of either one is changed. Diode units are made either way. But you have to order the correct polarity.  I am sure Doug can supply you with one or get either one.  Interesting to note that I have an MG friend who is an electrical engineer. He built a diode cut out for my J2 without a regulator but fused it at 8 amps. The original 3rd brush was retained to regulate output. It seems to work fine and is safer than the original cut out which can freeze. I will ,when I get around to it, install a unit like Doug sells to replace the 3rd brush.

Are you able to use the same solid state regulator of a MG TC as for a MG J2 1933 ?

Duncan and all,

 

Howard s failed unit was an original RF95/2 and not a solid state unit.   I don t know what the history of the unit is.  However, I can tell that is had be refurbished by the adjustment screws which had a new coat of red paint on them which is normally done to see if anyone has tampered with the adjustment.

 

I am a very strong advocate of the new solid state regulators that now have.  These are original cores that have had their internals replaced with smart protective circuitry.  I recommend using nothing else.

So Doug replaced the failed unit he sold you with a new one, or the failed unit was from another source? Any info on the failed unit would be of interest.
