I think the SX-460 is very good at picking up what little residual is present to generate power. I would think under load the windings would get hot and expand and if it's cold out then the case might contract a little. It doesn't take much to wipe away the enamel coating on the windings...

Never had to flash one with an SX460 on it. Diodes? Other than diodes or a bad SX460 (never seen one but they are made in China, so.......) there isn't much to go bad as long as the windings aren't overloaded and damaged.

Electronic Assemblies | Technology Research Corporation Looks like they made a batch for the govt and would probably make another batch but I doubt they have any on the shelf anywhere. The SX460 is PNP enough for me, at around $60.

Please keep us posted. I have a few projects ahead of the generators but before too long I'll be working on my 003A and my 016E motor with 017 gen head project.

The SX460 calls for a 5A fuse in the diagram. You could probably use the spare fuse holder in the 016E. Isn't is just a fuse holder that isn't wired to anything? If not an inline fuse is not expensive.

Yes, if you connect 1 and 2 (SX460) to 26 and 28 (gen) then you can use the existing pot.

I just ran it bare bones. I can field flash with a couple of wires if necessary so I didn't want any extra stuff.

Here's how I'd do it. (Or, how I did it, kinda.) Jumpers I added in red. Jump 3 and 4 for low voltage 110/120V operation. Jump C and 60 for 60Hz. x and xx go to field 7 and 8 go to 24 and 27 1 and 2 go to 28 and 26 See pics.

Looking at the 016B schematic it appears as though the convenience outlet is tied to the same wires (24 and 27) as the VR. In the pic that part of the diagrams shows 120V to the A2U1 convenience outlet and to the VR. Two wires go from the VR to the field. Two wires go from the VR to the...

I gutted my 701A/016E box and just wired the thing for 120V. But, you should be able to pick up 120V at any stator output. The SX460 just uses the 120 for power (uses very little) and to monitor the output so it can regulate. If I hadn't deleted my reconnect switch I would look strongly at...
