Alternative Antique Auto Electric supplier

Needed a new alternator after the Michigan Jamboree, case bolts loosen up because of vibration on a T engine. They need lock tite ,didn’t get any at time of manufacture, originally purchased from LD Becker Norwalk Ohio. He is no longer in business.. his son’s took over the business, but are closed down also. Contact Buckeye Antique Auto Electric in Painsville Ohio. They were very helpful and will have new alternator in 2 days . Had great time at the jamboree.

John - I'm glad you had a good time at the Jamboree, sorry that your alternator gave up the ghost. Did you have the gear-driven type or one driven by the fan belt?

We had a few hot days during the Jamboree and wouldn't you know it, this week we're looking at highs in the low-70's.... Oh well....you can't control weather.

Tim, nice to meet you at the jamboree..
I had gear driven type, a nickel’s worth of lock tite could have saved me grief.
