If the voltage is dropping and the RPM/Hz is staying at 60 or so, then I'd suspect the voltage regulator. Look for loose/green wires first. After that, maybe brushes.

I am only looking for a dimensional drawing on this EXACT model Paragon.

I am trying to determine the lenght and OFFSET of the gear, and the dimensions of the output flange..
*Something like the attached..
It's buried deep in a boat 1500 Miles away from me.

Would anyone happen to have a drawing of an old Paragon HF7B2-L that they would be willing to share digitally..* I would gladly trade it for a complete repair manual that I have..

Thanks,
