      Good morning,

      I am currently exploring some possible solutions for my 1938 French made 11BN. The car has the original dynamo with a cutout. The problem is the armature is broken and the only local shop that will touch it wants $1000 USD to repair it.

      A friend who deals in Citroen parts in the USA has a few later 6v dynamos that will hopefully work, but if this fails are there other options?

      It looks like there is a company making a Dynerator

      But they won’t send it to the USA. Does anyone have any experience with something like this?if the other 6v generators happen to not work I would gladly pay someone to ship some parts to the USA for me.

        It appears that the instructions are for English-made cars with Lucas regulators. Do they make one for Ducellier or Paris-Rhone regulators which is likely what you would need? If they did I would be interested in one myself.
