Equipment

Over the years we have built up a well equipped workshop which allows us to do most of the work involved in overhauling magnetos and dynamos 'in-house'. Inevitably, there are some jobs we can't do - electro plating is just one such example - but we do know local specialists who we can call on to help. When you send your precious magneto or dynamo to The Magneto Guys, you can be sure that all work will be carried out using the correct tools for the job.
Some of our equipment has been purchased as new ‘state of the art’ electrical test equipment, others are original tools from the vintage era, sourced and completely overhauled by ourselves and finally, we have a number of tools and pieces of test equipment that have been made in-house to suit our exact requirements.

The rest of this page shows some general pictures of our work areas.

Machine Shop
First, a few general views of some of our engineering plant and equipment:

Fitting Bench
This is where the magnetos and dynamos are dismantled ready for cleaning and inspection. They then come back here for assembly prior to testing:
Electronics Bench
This is where we designed and built the electrical/electronic test equipment shown in this section. We also manufacture our Magneto Static Timing Lights  here:

Sheet Metalwork Corner
Right in the centre of this picture is the white, extra large 'magneto' used as a visual aid when talking to customers in the workshop as well as for use at shows we attend and talks we give to various clubs:
Coil Winding Room
A small room where we insulate the armature cores, wind the coils and wrap them up ready for the vacuum/pressure impregnation process:

Here at The Magneto Guys, we pride ourselves in having the right tool to do the job in the correct manner.
Rest assured, there are no hammer and cold chisel jobs done here.....
