Automotive alternators / Does anyone have one of these?
November 03, 2009, 08:14:40 PM
Hello All,
Starting this out on a bit of historical relevance. Lincolns (some) used this alternator for front and back glass de-icing. Notice the field is run at 12vdc, and output is 120vac (not rectified). Ford knew the capabilities of the alternator, fairly early in its existence.

Does anyone have one in their possession? I changed one back in the early seventies, but that is the extent of my experience. It had a noisy bearing, and the (eccentric) owner would only be happy with a "NEW" one which if I remember right was over $100 at the time.
