Tom you just need to find an older Auto electrician. Go on line. In England there is a company that rebuild these older lucas units. They make up new field coils and rewind armatures.
I could spend time doing it, but so can you.
Thanks Lynn, I'll have a google and see what I can find. I'm assuming that the regulator can be adjusted to match the output of the dynamo then? I'll also see if I can find instructions on line as I have a voltmeter and always like to try and learn new skills.
