Probably from scavenging to keep units operating (which speaks to a design which has not stood the test of time on the internals).

All I use is a stack of 6 quality wooden pallets. I don't run the machines on them though, only cycle with dead crank. I will leave my tractors forks under the front of the machine, weighing down the stack to ensure no movement.

I have trays and hold down sets available. Will PM you (owe you one anyways, sorry for the delay)

Have you deoxidized all contacts in this set yet? Corrosion can cause faulty overloads.

So are you looking to fix your alternator, or buy one new? It should be cheaper to fix. https://www.prestolite.com/locator/ 15 Prestolite dealers shown in California

" Prestolite Electric Incorporated, a leading global manufacturer of alternators, starters and new-energy solutions marketed under the Leece-Neville® Heavy Duty Systems and Prestolite® brands, was acquired in 2016 by Zhongshan Broad-Ocean Motor Co., Ltd. (Broad-Ocean), one of the world’s largest...

Prestolite was sold to a Chinese alternator conglomerate back 2015/2016ish... I would get parts on the shelf for them while you still can, as this model is "specialized" for this platform only at this point. Others may fit, but I don't assume anything these days in terms of forward-looking...

If Ray cant help, I have a used takeout here and I think I have a couple new ones.

Whats the NSN or item #?

S6 isn't your primary issue, if you have current on L2. Start there

If your machine is set to produce 120/240 1PH, the L2 will have no current present. And the AM/VM in the 9 o clock position (if you look at the printed info on the gauge panel face) is operating at 3PH, picking up voltage for the gauges off L2-L3 (L3 is common amongst almost all voltage...

Does your percent rated current gauge (M8.) register in this 9 o clock position, as you have it set up?

What is your S8 set to, that you are pulling 120V only off L2?

The AM-VM only tells the gauges what to read... so while it might work in that setting, you need to chase the gremlin out.

If you need any parts, I can recommend the folks up at Daves Starter. They have repaired a number of alternators for me. They are Prestolite authorized, and I am sure can order in and ship whatever you need. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100057280487467

Doubtful you will find a generic. Ametek JAG-6008 At least (14) up on the big auction site as of right now.

And make sure your batteries are disconnected during all this. I agree with Ray, sounds like you need some magic in a can to fix a phantom problem.

Yes they are labeled on the floor of the cube, just not super easy to see. Thats where the TM callouts help as well.

Liquid (or air) should only escape up and through the top of the metering pump when its compressed... air/liquid passing through under any other scenario is not working right.

Thats the correct relay for the 5 right hand units. The first (leftmost) position is a switch: SPS-100-88-21091 I would recommend Kurt Klopp's unit for the first position: https://steelsoldiers.com/threads/mep-802a-mep-803a-s14-relay-5930-01-396-2940-88-21091.200402/
