Shay Countryman coil and points around 1960

[mr-anthony-witt]

I have the above Shay Countryman which I am renovating. Can anyone direct me to company who can help me get a replacement coil and condenser and points. The condenser T.C.C.
0-25-0-3MFD ……VCDTEST. S 10252 British Made. TCBRB. THESE numbers as written on condenser.
The coil number underneath is W.I.D. 28. Points need as well they are fixed to a bronze plate.
Would appreciate any help on this.
Many thanks
Tony Witt

It sounds as if you have the Miller type ignition , parts have long been obsolete. I assume you have had the coil PROPERLY tested. Condenser , not a great problem , as any condenser that you can fit in without fouling anything will do , can even be hidden on the outside and train the wire through. Points “should” clean up OK.
IF your coil is duff , the only real option is a rewind.
