Restoration Details - This charger sat on my shelf for about 15 years before finally making the leap to get it restored. THE REASON I delayed was because of the COST and TIME involved in getting it done right AND there was no guarantee that the coil was still good when I was done - IT WAS GOOD! At the same time, I wanted to maintain the original finish and patina which are in excellent shape for such an old garage-type automotive tool.
- The charge cord is a new extra long (over 8 feet) replacement with red and white cloth leads soldered-in. Cotton wrapped at splice and crimped with brass cord protection strap as would have been on original cord. Cord is tipped with brass rod-type tips similar to the original as clips were not on original design (clips with round crimp holes are available that the rods would slip into if you wanted the extra functionality).
- This charger had a non-stock socket jumpered-in with a substitute non-Edison base Tungar bulb. These were removed and the entire works were uninstalled cleaned and reinstalled in the proper OEM configuration. OEM porcelain socket was disassembled, cleaned, all conductor parts cleaned for good clean conductance contact and appearance as well. New slotted mounting bolts used on OEM porcelain socket to replace missing bolts.
- New NOS black cloth power cord with old stock bakelite plug.
- New Cloth insulated Tungar bulb clip lead with original bulb clip.
- Newish GE Tungar Bulb with Edison base and NOS hexagonal glass screw-in fuse.
- Open Circuit Test at 17 VDC. Charge test at 14 VDC 1 amp (this would vary according to battery condition)
NOTE: Tungar bulbs are very resilient to shorted battery Cells.

During its 28-year existence, what this year officially became known as the Dana Point Concours d'Elegance has been hampered by a series of name and residence changes comparable to another local institution, the reality-television show The Real Housewives of Orange County. If this year's event is any indication, stability and respectability have been achieved. For the last three years, the concours was staged on the rolling fairways of the Monarch Beach Golf Links at the ritzy St.

Last summer, when gas prices were pushing above $4 a gallon, Chrysler tried to cash in and move some metal by offering a guaranteed gas price of $2.99 for three years. But that plan crashed when the price of gas plummeted. Now, Hyundai is ready to give that marketing spiff another spin.
