  • Despite planning on going through all the cars in the Shed alphabetically, this week the sun was shining and Ivan wanted to focus on the Salmson, which he bought in Portugal.
    There have been a few issues with the dynamo, and the weather has been terrible so it hasn't been out since last summer.
    Anyway it is running well, we've since got the dynamo back and we're hoping to use it a bit.

    Had never heard of Salmson until one day I was poking around a scrapyard in Carluke Scotland, and there was a Salmson in among the rows of scrap cars. That was many many years ago, and it will be long gone by now, but it's nice to see one actually running.

    I remember with 6v Lucas m/c dynamos and electro-mechanical voltage control boxes you could reverse the polarity by holding one set of contacts in the vcb and doing something else I forget, all the manuals used to have the instructions how to do it

    I suspect that the generator simply needed to be "Re-polarised" to suit the polarity of the vehicle whether it be positive or negative earth. This was a common occurrence when changing from positive earth to negative earth, normally to fit readily available radios. It a very simple process - just unplug the Field connection at the regulator & briefly flash the field wire to the hot battery terminal. I bet the original generator was working but had been polarised for the opposite battery polarity.
