MAGNETO REBUILDS

Accompanying the engine shop is a newly-developed magneto shop.

The most complicated and deepest rebuilds can be undertaken, as new parts are re-manufactured and coils rewound and then vacuum impregnated with a special varnish that prevents deterioration internally.

Recently discovered is a magnificent and ancient magneto tester of great complexity, pictured here.

Recent examples of magnetos rebuilt are Meteor tank engine, Fw 190 18 cylinder magneto, Klimov, Meteor tank and Rolls Royce Kestrel.

In the pipeline are a small quantity of magnetos for Maybach tank engines.
