Default 12 volt generator field coils

It seems that the 1932 - 1938 type 12 volt generator field coils are no longer being made. I'm not a fan of 12 volt conversions, its just not necessary in most cases. But regardless, I occasionlly get a request to convert a 1932 - 1938 generator to 12 volts. So to fill the void I made a couple sets of them. I have a coil winding machine, a coil form and reel of #21 magnet wire. Its a lot of work, not something I want to do on a regular basis. But in a pinch, I can.

We have to be resourceful.
