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.

Skoda has today issued the first full photos of the new Superb Combi estate – and it promises to be one of the load-lugging bargains of the year. The regular Superb 'hatchaloon' is vast, and the Superb Combi offers even more space for not much more dough. The Superb Combi wagon stretches to 4838mm long and boot space stands at an echoing 633 litres.

The Peugeot Quartz Concept is a 494bhp Hybrid SUV -
The Peugeot Quartz Concept is a concept from Peugeot heading for the Paris Motor Show next month, and it uses a hybrid setup to offer the potential of huge performance from a pair of electric motors and the 270 PS 1.6 litre petrol engine from the RCZ R. Before you get too excited, it seems unlikely the QuartZ Concept is heading for production with its very concept-y look with scissor doors, pop-out steps for access and no B-Pillar, but it does show what could be done if Peugeot is brave enough and it does show the performance potential of the hybrid platform. The hybrid platform consists of the 1.6 litre THP 270 engine from the RCZ R – good for 266bhp – and an electric motor on each axle.

What's new on Renault’s motor show stand? The French maker’s star was its sleek new Megane Coupe Concept. A typical concept with novel split gullwing doors (dubbed dragonfly doors by the designers), seats that look like they’re straight from Ikea and cameras instead of door mirrors, its profile and design cues preview a forthcoming production model.
