The wires aren't difficult to replace with a little soldering. Get some 1/2 heat shrink tubing, correct color wire, etc. ahead of time. Even find a new grommet at the hardware store if you can. The generator comes apart relatively easily, just bearings with a light press in the bores.If your current rectifier is working, it will probably continue to work. However, they eventually corrode between the plates at the center and then it's dead and you can't fix them. If you want to go to newer tech, you can use two regular bridge rectifiers with 4 terminals and just leave two empty, or look for a 3 phase bridge rectifier which will have 5 terminals just like the current selenium rectifier. You can buy them with either spade terminals or screw terminals.
Karl, what is the source for "newer tech" parts you refer to; i would like to put the info in my file. Thanks, steve swan
