Makings of a generator

[TonyM]

Just picked these fractional HP motors up at a local market for a few pounds. I think they will make nice period scale generators. One shown next to the Gardner for an idea of size. They are about 3.5"/90mm Dia x 3.5"/90 long. They were made locally in the '50's '60's

Looks nice, what sort of specs on the generators/alternators ?

I will have to strip them down and check out the windings to see what can be done. Worst case they will just drive some diodes but would like to have at least 12V. I just bought them because they were nice frames and a handy size. At less than a fiver each they were too good to leave.
