ok. I got to thinking that maybe i'm a little behind the times. It has been my experience over the last 10 to 12 years that replacement 6v parts are becomming very scarce even on eBay. Has anyone started reproducing things like 6v armatures, coils, regulators etc??? AND at prices that can compete with cost of a 12v conversion????

I doubt that rewinding is something that can be done without expensive special equipment but i really do not know.

I have several 6v generators, starters etc around here but the major internal parts are most questionable.
