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.


I have gotten a couple of emails asking: "have you checked all the
loads, capacitors, etc.?" Yes. The loads are perfect. I am thinking
these beasts must just be hot runners.
