    Only seen pictures of one.The design looks
    to be for horse shoe magnets. I believe they
    used a car battery as a power source.This is
    my Stevens magnet charger.The adjustable
    shoes are for doing flywheel and crankshaft
    magnets but it wouldn’t be hard to make adapters
    to do flywheels. I’ve had mine for over 30
    years. After experimenting on many types of
    motors, including some RBM’s, I have found
    that I can increase the magnetism in the
    magnets but that doesn’t improve ( or solve)
    starting or running issues. Seems it doesn’t
    take a lot of magnetism to make what ever
    happens inside a coil to make a spark.
    However the speed of the magnet passing over
    the coil does increase the strength of the spark.
    My intent is not to discourage you. Its a piece
    of history worth preserving. Just my experience
    in the recharging of flywheel magnets.

    A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
