Any idea how much the coils cost? Really great they are making the voltage regulators!

I saw their '32 coil with integral ignition key listed on Ebay last year for around 200 U.S.D.

The company is located in Massachusetts, I believe still in the original factory where they used to make the Atwater Kent Radios.

I agree, nice to see them making replacements for the O-D regulator.

Their unit is close to, but not an exact physical match of the original O-D regulator. The original O-D regulators can be rebuilt, if you can find them. I've rewound the relay and heater windings on one to get it working again.

Classic and Exotic rebuilt my coil for $300.

A regulator may be a good thing to buy just to have a spare.

great find.

Thanks Tbirdman,

Maybe when he has time BigKev can add menu for part source links.

Unless it's already here some place and I haven't found it yet.

We dealt with the affiliate Sullivan company 15-20 years ago and found them to be unprofessional in their work and outright thieves by keeping some fuel pumps we sent them to rebuild including rare V-12's.

As the Atwater Kent Company, a name they subsequently adopted unbeknownst to us we tried to do business with them and had additional difficulties. Their way of dealing was familiar and while investigating our computer records found we had a customer on the same block a Atwater. He investigated and found as we suspected, they were merely Sullivan with a new name.

Take heed.

If you find a part/vendor source for anything, you can add it to the Packard Directory (on the Main Menu to the left). That is a repository for this type of information.

Thanks BigKev,

It's added to the directory. If people have a current problem with this vendor they can rate it in the directory.
