Hi
Just bought a '59 A10, standard goldflash iron head. It's been restored though I notice that it has supressor caps which I believe is wrong for a magneto.
Look forward to exploring this and several other arcane mysteries with y'all.

RE the suppressors I think your memory's correct, been plenty of warnings posted about this and I've not fitted 'em due to it.

Mr BSA-Bill, I always thought I was descended from Vikings, went to Norway a few years back and got mistaken for a local, which made my day, so a few Danes is OK.
Only thing to watch with them is they they tend to turn everything into outlandish choppers  *smile*

That would be Mr Blood axe (Eric), yes well those Vikings knew a thing or two about choppers.
Funny though I come from the North East of England around Newcastle and the local dialect (Gordie) owes a lot to Viking ( Scandinavian more correct), I'm told some words we use are similar to that language such as Hjem and ganning meaning home and going, could be folklore of course
