    I can’t remember when I heard that the OMC
    coils could be used as substitutes for coils that
    were no longer available.
    After I did every time I had a motor with a
    bad coil I’d modify the lam’s to see if they
    would work. They do.
    That was back in green board days where
    posting pictures was even more of a
    challenge than here.
    You had to post your picture on a website,
    then modify the link a certain way. Garry
    Spencer was the one that figured it out.
    As a group of pictures would be more
    helpful, I began struggling with You Tube.
    They weren’t really videos, but slide shows.
    My first coil video was on modifying
    the lam’s for the OMC style coils to use in
    these early Johnson’s magnetos. Not
    really of much value as these coils are
    rarely bad.
    This hobby fills a lot of my free time, but
    the motivation to spend so much of my
    time on it is, others seem to be getting
    something out of it.
