Excellent video! Thank you very much!

I have replaced the inside with a diode, been doing it that way for years. Still looks original. Similar to the way I test and adjust voltage regulators. Good video.

Liked your footage, very clear and well explained. Many years more to exercise your expertise!

Well done; good explanation of the servicing and props to whoever did the camera work! This video will be added to the MAFCA website's Videos Page!

Thanks Steve! I've been in the hobby since the early 90's and what with cutout rebuilders passing on and people switching to alternators it's been hard to find this kind of information.

Very nice video, Steve

Very informative. Thanks for making this video.

Excellent video, and instruction, Thanks

Great Video Steve.

Very good information. Thanks for the video!

Super video. Really clear, and helpful. Thanks.

Seems like, if one didn't have a variable power supply, you could create a crude go/no-go test using five AA batteries in series. The points should remain open when you connect four AAs (6V) and close when you connect five AAs (7.5V).

I have some cutouts that have similar internal function, induced magnetic point closure, but skeletonized hardware. Aftermarket? Bad ones usually have open primary magnetic circuit. Toss? Save usable parts...

Well done, Thanks

great video

Great videos!! Judging standards say all Model A cut outs have slotted feet. Your 4 examples did, but initial unopened one has closed feet. I have one which is internally like yours but closed feet.... are they post Model A cut outs?

Hey steve

I wanted to know if I sent you my cut out , how much you would charge to go thru it and set it up correctly. It is already a Terne finish so I don't need any refinishing done. It has been sitting awhile and may just be corroded. My friend took a photo of your table at Chickasha this year but I can't make out all the numbers of your phone. Larry Reeg I'm on VFF and Ford Barn.

Very informative video! Thanks for sharing. Would you happen to have the lugs, insulators and screws for sale? I have the cutout that I adjusted per the video, but am missing said pieces. Late '31 standard 5 window coupe btw

Interesting but what is a cutout?

I am trying to reconnect my generator on a 1937 ford. How to I connect back with the cutoff?

Steve - can I pay you to inspect and, if necessary, restore my negative ground Ford Model T cutout? I have one of the original ones that look like what you exhibited starting at 19:53 of the video. Thank you.

any idea why a cutout would have to have a battery hooked up to work? I tried to bench test one off a 2n ford tractor which is basically the same as what you showed and I can only get the cutout to work as long as a battery is hooked up to it and I have to push the terminal down to close the points and this only works up above12 volts. I have loosened the spring plate screws to remove tension but I still can't it to automatically close the points even at the high voltage. I have to help it each time and they will stay closed until the voltage drops off and then they don't work again until I repeat the process. I initially adjusted the air gap and points gap as you described which got the cut out to start working if I helped it but I can't get it to work properly. Sorry for the long winded comment trying my best to describe this odd situation.
