[Milsurplus] PE-95-2 Generator Help

[n2lxm at juno.com]

Greetings All,

        Our local radio club's PE-95-C Gen set is in need of some help. 
We want to use it for Field Day, but it had not been run for over two
years. I was able to turn the motor over using the hand crank, so we know
the engine is O.K.. But I did not get any spark off the Magneto, after
some detective work I found the capacitor used in the magneto is bad. I
clipped leaded in one I had from a lawn more and cranked the engine and
got spark. Now the question is when do you find parts for a 1942 era
magneto ?. From the TM we have it shows the magneto to be a Wico type,
sealed unit. does anyone know of a source for parts. If push come's to
shove I just may mount a cap out side the magneto and run a wire in
through the shut down wire's grommet. any and all help will be greatly
appreciated. Thank You.
