[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 47148, member: 2708"] Howard, the best stock looking charging system Ihave encountered so far was the 2 nd to last generation of the Alton. They are single phase with strong magnets and an internal transmission which speeds up the works. They produced good power right from idle and hit 150 watts at about 2000 rpm , as near as I can tell. Unfortunately the tiny plastic gear in the transmission was not suitable for the load. One of the club members here had some gears cut in 4140 steel as replacements. He provided me with one and I intend to use it soon. The current version of the Alton is decent, it puts outv150 watts as well, but at a much higher speed. Aside from the Alton, all other options which provide higher power are quite nonstock looking, and in some cases, rather unattractive. Glen [/QUOTE]

The Series 'A' Rapide was known as the '********' Nightmare?
