eisman mag parts

[Ron Coleman]

Help once again.
How do I go about finding a coil and capacitor for an eisman mag?
Any help to keep an old bird flying?

Thanks

There was a company that advertized in Trade a Plane,but i can not remember the name. That is where i bought my last coils, caps, points etc. Marv

Fresno from Trade a Plane is where I got a coil for Eisman a couple yrs ago.

Check with this outfit. They rebuild Eisemanns. They did mine.

FRESNO has all the parts for these mags. The coils are usually what goes bad...about 150 bucks each. Usually any GOOD A&P can fix them. 1930's technology. JC

If anyone is interested I've got three Eisemann mags just kicking around.

Re: eisman mag parts

Any chance those three Eisemann mags are still kicking around ? Are they AM-4 or LA-4 ? Impulse couplings ? Thanks , Gene

Re: eisman mag parts

I have two LA-4 both are just cores one has an Impulse and I have one AM-4 thats has good spark but the Impulse is missing.

Re: eisman mag parts

I want to rebuild mine also but I called Fresno a few days ago and they have all the parts except the points. They have coils, bushings, etc but I hate to tear mine down and not put in points. Anybody know where I can buy two sets of points and two condensors for the LA4?

My suggestion is to see if you can find any oil INSIDE the mag.

If so the Oil seal is probably the cause.

Unfortunately; on an Eiseman the area the seal contacts

may well be worn to the point a new Oil Seal won't fix the

issue.

Bendix S-20's have a sleeve the seal contacts that is

replaceable.
