I tried to put as much system information as I could into my
question as I could however, "vintage Jacobs" needs more
explanation. This generator was made in about 1948, is
DC(commutator), no electronics or gears(mechanical governor),
direct drive, I understand, the transistor came about in 1947.
Gotcha. In that case, you will almost certainly need a DC2DC step up
converter. Figure out the amps/watts the generator can provide as a
starting point to know the specs of the boost converter you'll need.
If you are searching ebay for boost converters, one phrase you may
want to look for in the listings is "input voltage protection",
which lets you set an "input voltage" that the boost converter
shouldn't go below. (it will limit the output current/voltage to
"protect" the input voltage.) This is a useful feature for solar
input, and you may find it useful for your generator as well.

Thanks Jay. Just what I needed to know...Ron
