For Sale - Rewound Alternator Rotor

[Jim]

I ordered a rotor from @Jim and was very pleased with the product! It looks brand-new and tested perfectly. Not to mention, I always rather give my hard-earned dollars to an individual as opposed to some faceless company. Thanks, Jim!

Thanks Rhy! Glad you're happy with it.

Here's another one ready for a good home. Holidays are over but I'll make it another "holiday special." $99 shipped in the states. All conditions in comment #1 still apply.
Sold.

I sent you two rotors for core credit. They were sent taped together in a padded envelope via USPS 2-day Priority. I sent you the tracking number under separate cover. I received the 2nd rotor you sent and finally got time to install 1st one. It worked great. Thanks for great parts and service.

Jim's work is absolutely top-notch folks - he is The Man for alternator rotors.

Hey Jim, this still counts as a core ......right?

That's a core lesson right there.

In technical jargon.... that's a paperweight.

What? You can't replace slip rings?

What? You can't replace slip rings?

Thought about turning 'em down, but looking at the pic, there's some separation of the phenolic from the rings caused by the heat. Not sure I'd trust it enough to re-sell it.

 

[GLJ]

I didn't say turn them. I said replace them. You would just have to make some more new tooling.

 

[Jim]

I'd have to learn how to make and cast phenolic. The copper rings are cast into the phenolic plate.

Jim, if you need a core to build one for Mailman I might still have the one that was on the 1972 in the picture over to the left. I could dig it out latter today if it's still on that shelf.

 

[Mailman]

Just to be clear ( if there was any doubt ) I was joking. It’s going in the trash.

 

[Team Junk]

Hey Mailman. I would be happy to pay the freight for you to send it this way for some gonzo experiments. Hate to see stuff go to waste. I know NM is in lockdown but the usps has ways to lobe it over them and it's clear sailing from El Paso on.

Just checked parts inventory and have two rotors. One with magnet for electronic ignition and one without for points ignition.

Tested windings after checking leads of ohm meter, leads show 0.4 ohms connected to each other.

Points rotor windings read 5.0 ohms so subtracting the 0.4 gives a 4.6 reading, possibly useable!

The electronic ignition rotor shows 1.4 ohms so after subtracting the 0.4 gives a 1.0 reading, does not sound good!

Slip rings look pretty good on both. What I would call some minor chips of phenolic near the outer ring on the points rotor.

I got one Ken, thanks... I might hit you up at a later date though.

If you wrap it in old padded envelopes and throw it in a padded priority mailer envelope, it's only $8:50 anywhere in the conus.

Sounds good neither one is going any where, should also be an electronic rotor still in the motor from the retired work bike as well!

 

[gggGary]

That $8.50 padded mailer will ship TWO rotors also.

Yup.
