Makes sense...I design audio vacuum tube circuits for a living and there are similarities, when it comes to proper grounding.

Things always happen for a reason.
This little generator adventure definetly makes me wanna go with an alternator for a supposed reliable long-distance driver....

But first, I have to get this original setup going on my 235.
Amazing how long this old generator lasted.
Only now after listening to the new quieter generator, I realize that light scratching noise I heard for the past decade, was the generator !!
...always wondered, where that light grey sound came from.
The old one also didn't had the oiling cups, like the new one has.
Anybody know what kind of oil works best here?

I wonder if an alternator would last that long while providing background noise for over a decade without greasing?
