timbo Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Can anybody tell me what this is off? I bought it as NOS for my Saladin but clearly it isn't a Saladin generator. In case you cant read the label it is a 24v, high speed, part no 1200071. No FV no. There is an NSN on the crate but it is too faint to be readable...

timbo Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) Bit of an update - I have managed to find an additional reference LV6MT4CBG7B24-7X and the NSN 2920-99-804-1819 Edited July 24, 2014 by timbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmite!! Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Bit of an update - I have managed to find an additional reference LV6MT4CBG7B24-7X. Can only find this http://www.nsn-now.com/Indexing/ViewDetail.aspx?QString=2920998041819 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 LV6/MT4 is the VAOS Section for common electrical stores for 'A' vehicles. Sorry doesn't narrow it down very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbo Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 Clive You were my best hope! There do seem to be other part nos with 2920-99-804... which do relate to the FV600 series but cant find this one at all... Thanks anyway Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Tim I have a lot of VAOS but not MT4. I have lost my search facility that required two CD drives to run simultaneously. Since the great PC crash & my unfortunate migration to Windows 8.1 & partitioning the drives it says the system is incompatible with W8.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 It is coded also as 16E22791. I have 16E which is the RAF Vocab for Mechanical Transport Electrical Equipment. It is a weighty book of over 600 pages it is dated 1954 & unfortunately does not go up as far as 22791. It has quite a few 24v dynamos the nearest to G7B24-7X is G5524-2X used in some AECs, Scammells & Thornycrofts. I have a CAV dynamo booklet unfortunately it only goes up to G7A24 but the 24 bit is as one might guess relates to the voltage output. The suffix I think relates to the enclosure. The ventilated G7A24 is rated at 55A & the enclosed version at 40A. Sorry I can't pin it down but that looks like the sort of application & being ventilated like that is not an AFV sort feature.

timbo Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 Many thanks Clive, so it looks like I've purchased a dynamo off some kind of large truck - useful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Afraid so, looks like bit of misrepresentation of the goods. Unless of course the heavy commercial collectors regard the dynamo as a highly valued item? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMC 7RU Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 ISIS shows DMC as being 4CE (previously 6MT4) - which would indicate CENTURION Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 That's interesting Steve, presumably it would be for the 4-cylinder Morris auxiliary engine? On your system does it still show a 16E reference as well? The fact that at one time it did suggests it would also have had a RAF application other just Cent?

fv102 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Late to the party as usual. Appears to be generator of top of a IVB Meteor. Judging by the plug on the back. D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
