[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 40671, member: 597"] On another note mentioned in this post, I don't think the Vincent factory had much choice when it came to electrics.....Miller, Lucas, BT-H, Thats all they had to choose from. The original BT-H Would have been a better mag than a Lucas, but maybe Lucas were the only company prepared to adapt the K2-F to suit our 50 degree Vtwins.....The KV-F as we know it.....the Miller and Lucas generators are roughly the same, although the Lucas is much more common and has larger brushes than the Miller, but Lucas had a pretty good elecrto/ mechanical regulator verses the Millers carbon pile reg which was doubtful at best. It was the best technology available to them at the time......As a side, Ive actually found that while this thread talks about the reliability of new and old condensers, I've found on magneto's that it's also/ mainly the old windings that break down......remembering that the condenser only stops the points burning, it does not actually produce the spark energy itself.........Greg.
