Delco generator

[Russ T. Fender]

Can anyone recommend a rebuilder who has done Delco 947B generators?  I believe that generator was used on Plymouths from 1928 up to and including the non-water pump 30-U's.  Thanks.

Here is the starter:

Complete rebuild, rewired.  The generator is self polarizing when he is finished with it.., also new Delco tags with proper SN numbers.

Thanks for the referral.  Looks like he does great work!

Yes, a little pricey but well worth it. He does an exceptional job.

Generators  are pretty straight forward . Look for local auto electric repair shop . Truckers , farmers can lead you . Kits are available that even include brushes . Is it just not working or you doing pm on it ?

The generator on the car is 90 years old and up until the last few years was in almost daily use.  It still works but I am in the midst of a restoration and have an untested spare that I want to get rebuilt so I will have a fresh generator for the finished project.  I will keep the one on the car as a back up and probably have it serviced when the restoration is done.  Generators are fairly simple but most rebuilders are not familiar with the early units with a cut out and third brush.  I had a very unpleasant experience with a reputable rebuilder who almost destroyed an early generator years ago so I am a bit gun shy.
