Is this a hi-pot or does anyone know what it might be, hold the clips and crank and it'll light you up like a Xmas tree.

Could be an old ring box, when we used to "ring" out the wiring during installation.

I believe it was called a Lucas Dynamo or Lucas Generator. I believe one of its uses was to charge and test capacitors.

Great collectors item!

Rick,
If you would, can you hook your meter leads up to it and post the DC and amp readings?

Make good choices,
