WW2 Hand Crank Generator Restoration - SCR-284 Part 3

This is the third in a series of videos covering the repair and restoration of a WW2-era SCR-284 radio set. In this video, I restore the GN-45 generator, a hand-crank generator which converts human power into a supply for the transmitter section of the radio. This process includes cleaning, fabrication of reproduction components, circuit checks, capacitor replacement and restuffing, and testing.

Subscribe to keep up to date on historical military restoration projects, with a focus on the Second World War. New videos are always in development, including more amateur radios, field gear, and other military technology. If you have an idea/request, you are welcome to leave it in the comments!
