Now, I know I have put up a picture of the old generator before, but I thought I would show the comparison of new and old. You can see the damaged windings in the old, but the whole thing looks a little discoloured. This may just be a different potting compound but some areas are darker than others. I cant see any physical damage to the rotor, so I can only assume that when the original reg/rec went wrong it may have either been caused by this, or perhaps have actually caused it. But I am not too sure.
