Nearly everyone reading this has has a similar story, so here's mine.
A couple of years ago I fixed up a basket case JD A for a friend. There was no generator so I picked up a rebuilt one and stuck it on.
Now I have it back in the shop to get it ready for a show and the generator quit charging while I was running it. After the usual quick check, I pulled the band off and discovered black tape wound around the generator in place of the paper gasket. The tape had sagged and made it's way into the brushes. After some cleaning and fifteen minutes to make a gasket, it's charging again, but I'm a little irate about paying good money for shoddy workmanship. Jim
