Solenoid 1114356 question.

[Ralph B.]

Did this solenoid ever have thin gaskets under the connection terminal studs or the (2) the pan head mounting scews that attaches the forward bakelite cap to the plated body.

I have noticed that generic replacements have very thin "red" gaskets under all of the above.

Thank you,
Ralph

Ralph -- in this NOS service solenoid (instructions dated 1963) the two panhead screws have what seems to be a translucent plastic or nylon washer recessed flush with the bakelite. Under the S and R small terminals, and the two big copper stud terminals, just metal flat washers. Can take close-ups if you need.

BTW, what gasket shows between the bakelite cap and the body ? Black rubber on mine. Not sure what TFP was.

Wayne,

Follow up question:

What's your best guess to what finish is on the (2) pan head slotted screws?

Kind of looks like either black phosphate or maybe black oxide ???

Thank you,

Ralph --- a pic will probably help, with lighting angle that shows it best.

The detail under this light seems to rule out black oxide or dark phospate coat?

Great Picture!

Thank you
