Dear Jim.

Remember Crocodile Dundee ?

Dear Grum

Looks like micrometer adjustments are needed for your brushes. Could we see a schematic of your setup e.g. is there a diode in the lamp path? latest cap value etc.

Thanks

Dear Vortex1.

Yes indeed you DO need a steady hand !! 

There is nothing involved just a 1.8 W 12 V lamp and a non polarised motor capacitor at 30 micro F. Just one Field coil, ( I managed to trash the other one ) who's inductance is 11.45 mH.

But I think, there's still something missing !!

Thanks for sharing  Grum!   you sure are getting closer every time. Now you've got to get that second stator coil shorting.
I really like how clean looking your resonance sine wave gets at times.

Dear Grum,

did I not also hear you say you had modified the rotor commutator and removed every 2nd coil?


Thanks

Dear Luc.

My apologies to both you and Vortex1, yes the Armature has been modified. Actually not a very difficult task as mine were simply looped over and crimped I only had to solder one pair, I assumed them to be the start and finish turns.

Cheers Grum.
