PJS ignition box information.

[Genghis]

Does anyone have information about PJS ignition systems based in Thorn Hill, Southampton in the 1980s? I have recently acquired a PJS magic box hopefully suitable for a Weslake points ignition. The box has a red circular badge on the top with the PJS sign in white letters. I understand other PJS boxes were badged with different colour ie green, Is this colour coding of any significance?  There is also a sticker on the side of the box with a phone number 0703 464105.

I have been told PJS closed years ago hence the request for any information, parts list/instruction manual. I am rebuilding a Weslake bike and intend to have the magic box made serviceable assuming this is the correct box for my Weslake. I presume the internal parts, rechargeable batteries and coil are still available and from whom?                                                   Also any recommendations of who to contact for a cost effective ignition box overhauled would be very helpful.

It will be cheaper to buy a new box than have that one recommissioned,nobody really repairs them these days,trackspark sell them for around £260 new

Thank you, I did wonder if this would be the case of purchasing a new one. It seems a shame to have what is effectively a "period piece" left sitting in the workshop and the bike not being 100% original. I have checked the batteries (6x 1.7Ah  1.2V) size C rechargeable but not even sure as to whether these are correct as original, or have been changed /upgraded.

A new one it may have to be, but i would still be interested in any info on PJS and their boxes.
