 Old-style charge light relay? I found this in the shed earlier.  I guess it's one of the '60s charge light relays, for those few A-series with the alternator with the pair of unrectified AC pins on them. The part number on it is 8363A-12V-J9 The AC end is marked "40V-1~" The DC end is marked "L" "+" and "-" Any idea how to test it, to see if it's worth doing anything with or just binning? At the very simplest, I'm getting about 8.2kOhm between + and -, and 400Ohm between L and + on the DC end, but the AC end appears to be open circuit. Sam - I'd say it's come from Hetty-bitz, so you get first call on it, I'd say, if it's worth having.

Re: Old-style charge light relay? Hi Dave, just like one of those, then? ken p.s Would a pair of Ducellier alternator AC output pins be of interest, tested and in working order? dave 411 wrote: ...whether it works or not, it will take pride of place in the engine compartment.
