Reply To: 1929 Johnson Model J-25 Plug Wire

Thanks for posting that spring tubs. I’ll dig around the waste tar a little
to see if the baby (spring) got thrown out with the bath water.

The spring looks like an attempt to insure electrical contact with the
secondary button. You wouldn’t think it would hold up, or be too effective,
but I did have continuity with the ohm meter from the plug terminal
to the windings, before I tore it apart.
FYI for anyone whose curious, The primary ohms on the coil were .1 K, secondary 5.2K.

Perhaps I’ll solder a brass tab onto the secondary button and attach the plug wire
like you did. Seems to me I may have done something similar on an A-45 or similar motor.

Prepare to be boarded!
