Reasons why I think Leece-Neville's are worth the money!!

So just rewind the rotor (field) with more turns and higher grade
insulation (Class F, or even Class H if necessary) on the wire ! You COULD
use smaller gauge wire, so as to make more turns fit onto the existing
stator, cuz you ARE gonna have more volts available to push the required
current through the field coil. Ampere turns is what excites the stator to
a given level of voltage output at any given speed!!
