Just like any power supply, make sure that the circuit supplied by the
dynamotor is all ok .

Check those paper caps etc.

Is the current on the HV side within spec?

Etc

I managed to get a NIB BC-454-B for pretty cheap. I decided to keep
it 100% original, so I put a Dynamotor on it and cobbled up a 28VDC
supply. Works great as a WWV monitor.

I've never run a dynamotor this long before. The question is: What is
the proper running temperature for these small dynamotors? Seems quite
hot. (Yes, I repacked the bearings).

I have another dynamotor, not for the BC-454, that says "50C continuous
operation" Is that how hot it gets or is that its expected ambient.

TIA.

Steve.
