I think i have one, but problem is the insulation over the coil breaks down over time exposing the windings. This coil is the same design as that used in the 55-57 Hummer but smaller. I was successful in coating my Hummer coil with epoxy, and it seems to work. New coils are available for the Hummer magnetos, but I haven't a clue where to find one of these smaller coils.
Also, if a PO decided to solder the HT lead to the coil's output tab, that connection is sure to break, and when it does, you't need to be really good to pick up that fine lead and make up a new connection.
1960's Maico Scramblers came with these Bendix magnetos, but for a generator sparked Harley 125 or 165, adaptors for both the stator and magnet rotor would have to be made up or found.
I would think in this day and age something smaller and more efficient and rugged would be a better choice, but I haven't a clue where to even start.
