vintage machines were negative earth, as is the norm with all cars and
motorcycles now.

Dynamo identification
by M21 on 09 Jun 2009 11:30 pm
I have a motorcycle dynamo I am trying to identify, so I can find it
a home.
It is about 3"/75mm in diamter, and 7'/175mm long, with an offset shaft.
It's almost an exact copy of a "short" Lucas E3, except the the end cover
has a diagonal section on it, with two studs marked 16 and 18 for connecting
to it. The drive end has a manufacturer's symbol on it, a rectangular box
with what looks like half a gear pinion sticking up above it, with a round
symbol in the middle, and the letters M 9. Beneath it it is labled P9a.6V.7,5A.
It has a European rather than English feel to it, and I have a vague
memory that someone once told me it might be polish. Any thoughts?

Tail Light Bulb Replacement? (Long Narrow Type)
Bianchi 125 CC 1954-58
Anyone know a source for 50s Tail Lights? I need the long cylindrical
tail light replacement bulb for the Bianchi. It looks like
a glass fuse w/ pointy ends to fit inside the connector mount. See Foto.
Thanks. Scott

Electric motorcycle
Electric Varta from Sweden?
I write for an online motorcycle community with an emphasis on electric
motorcycles ( http://www.electricmotorcycles.net
). I have located a conversion or manufacture from the late 60's/
early 70's online that does not have much info about it. http://stockholm.craigslist.org/wan/268443545.html

The owner does not have much information to provide. Is
there anyone that can help fill in the gaps?

That brand of magneto (Ruthardt) was fitted to a Rudge, and probably
