Title: Maglita for sale
Post by: Macneill on 25 Aug, 2026, 03:17
Hello!  My "new" 1935 B-35-2 Came fitted with a Lucas Maglita, which I gather is the original correct magneto for the B-2 model.   It came with the bike plus "more or less" another unit in parts.     I've tested the armature, points, coil and cutout points and everything works but no spark.  I'm clearly out of my depth here and have given up the fight. I opted for a late 30s Mag/Dyno which I had on hand... which fits and I know will work.
      So, this Maglita is now looking for a new home.    I am comfident that in the hands of somebody with an understanding of magnetos, this can be sorted.      I am selling for $600 Canadian ( approx 325 pounds) plus postage which would be roughly $140 Canuck bucks.  If anybody in the group wants exact shipping cost and more photos, please to email me with your city and postal code at my shop, The Twelfth Fret Guitar Shop in Toronto...sales@12fret.com
