Please take a look at the area of the armature the arrows are pointing to. I am currently rebuilding the generator and see the shellac has peeled off and disintegrated from this area. Does this need to be corrected by re-applying a shellac substance?

Also, has anyone found a place to get replacement seals and bearings for the auto-lite generator?

Are you on page 108 & 109 of TM 9-1825B? Clean & re-varnish.

After posting, I did come along this page. Thanks Wes.

How about the internal bearings and seals, anyone have a source for those?
