There was an older discussion of similar to this in 2011 or 2012. Since I didn't find it I started a new topic.

I'm looking for a schematic/ manual for an Alco 251 GE generator and GMG-158 amplidyne. I am looking for the values of the resistors used for powering the amplidyne shunt field. They appear to be 22 and 88 ohms, but I can't determine how they are connected. The S6 may be the same.

Thanks

I have a schematic for the S-6 on CD if you are interested. I can also make you a print copy. The CD is $35.00 and the print copy which is 4 large sheets is $100.00
Contact me off list if you want these.
