The Kewtech KT200 clamp ammeter is not capable of reading DC current. Therefore the reading of 20V was from AC, which should not come from a battery charger unless the rectifier bridge was faulty. I saw no testing of the rectifier bridge, which should have been replaced anyhow, because selenium rectifiers are highly toxic. Much better solid state rectifiers are available nowadays.
Bardzo ładna, kompletnie niepotrzebna robota. Jeśli to do muzeum to nie należało tego malować. Jeśli do użytku to jeszcze gorzej, prostownik selenowy kompletnie zniszczony, zresztą i tak współcześnie do żadnego ładowania to się nie nadaje.
Nice, that was a selenium plate 1/2 wave rectifier, often they fail, and if you replace with modern diode...it overcharges.... Of course they are more decoration than useful now, but I still keep my old one
The rectifier plates should have been left alone ... wiki says "Selenium rectifiers are made from stacks of aluminum or steel plates coated with about 1 μm of bismuth or nickel. A much thicker layer of selenium (50 to 60 μm) doped with a halogen is deposited on top of the thin metal plating. The selenium is then converted into polycrystalline gray (hexagonal) form by annealing"
Well done . This battery charge looks like new. I assume you check the electrical components, transformers etc. for continuity and reliability off camera. Thumbs up.
hey ,if anyone else wants to uncover how to recondition batteries try t.co/Folp6e7Dkc ? Ive heard some great things about it and my mate got amazing results with it.

Nice job looks and working well thanks for sharing 🍺👍👍👍👍👍

Great job but get a DC clamp meter
🍺🍺
Most impressive, a lovely job.
Hi Alex B 👋👋👋very good restoration battery charger 🔌 👍👍👍
thanks

Any good reason you put the fuse and voltage switch plates on the outside of the housing? Also tubular rivets were used.
Bravo!
Overall not bad, but you should looking for improve you'r welding skills. You have very little of them.
Nice restoration! I love the red and white! T-Wrecks
شكرا جزيلا
rectifier are destroyed!!!!!!!!!
Wow, it was so rusty, it looks like a wooden panel !!!
goodvergood💚❤️🌹🌳👏👏
Этикетку можно было сохранить. Сфотографировать, отретушировать да приклеить на прежнее место.
Destroy the selenium rectifier quickly and easily :-)
you dont know much about electronics!
