This picture shows a closer view of the damaged ETH armature. 4th December 2008.

This view shows the condition of the field windings on the poorer of the ETH Generators and some of the damage that it has suffered. 4th December 2008.

The fan end of the poorer ETH Generator showing the sooty condition of the internals. This generator is the worst of the generators that will eventually be needed for Renown, the good news is that repair is possible. We have since purchased a much better condition ETH generator for Renown which will be coupled with a good condition ex-Class 37 auxiliary generator but the set pictured is retained as a repairable spare. 4th December 2008.

Damaged ETH Armature for Renown, unfortunately these machines are rare, and the other ETH Armature owned by Renown Repulse Restoration Group is also in a poor condition, which will force a significant repair when a machine is overhauled for Renown. The Auxiliary is less of a problem being common with a Class 37. We have since acquired a far better condition ETH generator for use in 50029. 17th February 2009.

Another view of the Auxiliary generator field windings and case, the other Auxiliary Generator case is seen to the left on the floor. 17 February 2009

The Auxiliary Generator field windings are seen following initial cleaning. 17 February 2009

An internal view showing the commutator, without the masking, overhauled brush boxes, new PTFE insulators and now fitted with replacement carbon brushes.

Connection box is shown above, with the connections all made to the terminal bar, simply awaiting fitting of the covers, which had yet to be cleaned and painted.

The faulty aux gen armature being transferred to a member's van to be disposed of.

All of the brush boxes have been thoroughly cleaned and overhauled as seen above,also in the picture is one of the brush box mounting clamps which has also been cleaned and painted. 17 February 2009.
