I've just bought my first Rapide, a 1950 series C example which requires recommissioning. The bike isn't with me yet but I inspected it on Wednesday and the only missing parts I could see were the battery and the battery clamp bolt and nut.
I'm now wondering if there is a way to tell if it's still 6v or has been converted to 12v just by inspecting some photographs? Below are a couple of the charger/dynamo area, if anyone can tell me if it is actually possible to distinguish 6 or 12v from these I'd be happy to know how!
