Herman Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 (edited) Hi all, I recently acquired a very small portable radio battery charger used during WW2. The brand is Edgar Westbury, British made. It needs some TLC and i want to know as much as possible of this little marvel. The engine is a 15CC 4-stroke engine driving a small alternator followed by a rectifier. Rated charge current is 8A max. Hope someone can help. The picture shows how he looked when i bought it.

Richard Farrant Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Hi Herman, Your set was made by the Douglas motorcycle company in Bristol. I believe Edgar Westbury was just the designer. My own one was made by Stuart Turner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman Posted November 15, 2020 Author Share Posted November 15, 2020 Thanks for your info Richard. Every bit of info helps me learning more about it. I discovered this unit only 2 days ago in a farmer's shed where it stood 15 years. He wanted to get rid of it and i was the lucky guy!

REME 245 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 (edited) Yours is missing a few bits like the frame etc and has been modified. The only way of getting spares is to break another one which you could do because they are fairly common but they are not worth a great deal so a problem if you want to get your money back.
