Note to self. read the datasheet first. Or at least wear your glasses.
The board was rated at 23VAC input. Output of the lighting coil is 28VAC. Overdrove that bridge rectifier just a tad. On the advice of a VeloSolex god and Ojibway brother in NYC, I went with an LM2596HV board. It has an input rating of 50VAC, so it don't care. Smaller than the Audiowind board I was using and cheap, too. I got two for under ten bucks. It works really well. I think I'll use the other board I bought in the yellow Solex in the future, with a smaller box. I replaced the smoked rectifier on the Audiowind board and think I may wire that one into one of my bicycles that runs a hub dynamo and dual halogen headlights.
