AWA Wireless Set 11
WS-11
The start of another project, The Wireless Set
No-11.
As you can see from these first shots the Low Voltage Power
Supply was a mess.
The Dynamotor was broken in numerous segments as the power
supply had been dropped at some stage.
Notice the Cracks in the housing near the brushes and the
broken bearing retainer in the background..!
The Two High Power Dyno's needing repair.
The low Power Housing after a few adjustments.
The Under Side of the Low Power Dyno with a Spare Housing in the back
ground.
Splitting the cases. This was interesting, the
retaining screws are behind the brushes, Small screws in the top of the metal
housing hold the brush
carrier in place.
Notice one of the bearing retainers is missing as if fell to
bits after the impact.
Mock Up to see if the other housing will fit. The
metal castings are not very strong. take great care when working with them.
Re-assembled Low Power Dyno ready to go back into
the power supply.
After cleaning the mess inside and outside the
housing, I re-painted the front as it was badly scratched.
To make the Wrinkle finish look like the rest of
the set i go over the second coat with a hand held blow torch.
The paint needs
a hand to wrinkle, and came up like the original after the heat was added.
All cleaned up and ready to go.
Dyno fitted, and ready for testing.
First Test run was Low on output @ 145v DC, On the bench
before I mounted the Dyno it reached 215v, but
a few poor capacitors were dragging it down the HV,
After I replaced them the volts came up. I
left the original Caps in place for reference.
And the Finished Product., Since this photo I also have the
Remote Control Station.
