These videos are gold. None of that "take old part out, put new part in" crap we get today

[@w8fg]

Where ever you are getting these videos , I hope there are more! I love this sort of old training videos

I'm a Retired Auto Mechanic, from 78-06... For the first time ever - I finally know exactly HOW an Alternator works!! 😲 Sure, always knew the principles... But even by the late 70's, we just replaced them with new or reman... I remember one old timer in my early years who rebuilt them. Us "kids" thought he was NUTZ!! I wonder why they stopped teaching us these principles??? I'll bet NOW, Tech Training rarely ever leaves the LAPTOP. 😖😞 This stuff is amazing and invaluable! Thanks for sharing.

It's one thing to understand a theory. To see the guts in action and in pieces is another.

Wow, this helps a lot. I have a 1966 Ford Mustang that had the regulator replaced with a solid state “heavy duty” regulator. The idiot light never worked on the dash when the car was off to alert me that the alternator isn’t charging. I ordered a mechanical regulator, and everything works to spec now. Now I know how to adjust the contacts when the regulator needs service.

[@chrismc410]

Other today's solid state electronics for a lot of the guts like the regulator, still works much the same way as back in the day.
