I am restoring a 1925/26 Johnson A 25 and I am looking for a working coil and capacitor.
Thanks.

Try Doug Penn

douglas.penn@gmail.com

If he does not have one, he may be able to point you in the right direction. Short of that, post a wanted ad in the webvertize of aomci.org

doug penn is the best bet, but would a coil ( if it was ok) from this motor ( 1928) work ? its just a wall hanger, so if someone could use non visible parts.....the cost of shipping works.

What model number is that nwcove, I cannot read it in the pic? Would first have to verify that it is hot though.

They can also be rewound, PM if you are interested in that and Ill send you the details.

...and by the way, the A25 uses a .12 microfarad condensor for your search.

It looks exactly like my 1928 2.5hp AC-35, or A-35 as it no longer has the canoe bracket. Im willing to bet that is what yours is.

I also have the Canadian cousin to your OA55, which is an OK15, made in Canada. Yours is a 3hp whereas mine is an 8hp.

Those 2 motors share condensors/coils, and I believe the A25 shares them as well, but would have to look into my manuals.

those are nice looking old motors, too bad mine are just wall hangers! ( the 1928 has a hole rusted through the outer water jacket, but still has compression, the 1932 has compression, but is missing its original tank.) both are peterboro motors.

This thread is almost 6 years old and I'm sure the OP found a coil. Look for replies in you new new thread after members see it. Thanks.
