[SEL] Accurate (A&E) Magneto Testing

[Ted Brookover]

Just a word of caution folks, some Accurate and IHC "R" magnetos can be spun 
at 500 RPM and some cannot.

If the Mag has a gear and is meant to be "Rotary", spin to your hearts 
content, however some of these were set up to work as "Oscilating Magnetos" 
these must never be spun, as there is a wire connection inside that will be 
wrecked if spun.
