The
Bendix S1200 series magneto is the largest, heaviest, and most powerful
magneto currently available.
Notice the TCM cast into the housing. Teledyne Continental Motors now
owns the Bendix magneto product line. Incidentally, the TCM logo also
indicates that the housing is a newer style and a lot less prone to
cracking.

Referred
to as the "throw-a-way" magneto because it only cost $45.00 new
- you used it for 600 hours and then threw it away and bought another. No
repair parts were ever produced for this magneto. This magneto has been
obsolete for many years.
If you have one of these magnetos on your airplane, please remove it
before further flight - they are way past any reasonable operational
period and no longer airworthy.

"shower-of-sparks". |

Slick's best magnetos. They are no longer supported by Unison Industries

manufacturer. It has become increasingly difficult to purchase replacement
parts. |
